Classical Fortran: Programming for Engineering and Scientific Applications, 2/e (Hardcover)

Classical FORTRAN: Programming for Engineering and Scientific Applications, Second Edition teaches how to write programs in the Classical dialect of FORTRAN, the original and still most widely recognized language for numerical computing. This edition retains the conversational style of the original, along with its simple, carefully chosen subset language and its focus on floating-point calculations.

New to the Second Edition

• Additional case study on file I/O
• More about CPU timing on Pentium processors
• More about the g77 compiler and Linux

With numerous updates and revisions throughout, this second edition continues to use case studies and examples to introduce the language elements and design skills needed to write graceful, correct, and efficient programs for real engineering and scientific applications. After reading this book, students will know what statements to use and where as well as why to avoid the others, helping them become expert FORTRAN programmers.

《Classical FORTRAN: Programming for Engineering and Scientific Applications, Second Edition》是一本教授如何使用Classical FORTRAN這種最早且最廣為人知的數值計算語言撰寫程式的書籍。這本第二版保留了原版的對話式風格，以及其簡單、精心選擇的子集語言和對浮點計算的重點。

第二版的新增內容包括：
- 關於檔案輸入/輸出的額外案例研究
- 關於Pentium處理器的CPU計時更多內容
- 關於g77編譯器和Linux的更多內容

這本第二版通過案例研究和示例，不斷更新和修訂，介紹了撰寫真實工程和科學應用中所需的語言元素和設計技巧。閱讀本書後，讀者將知道應該在哪裡使用哪些語句，以及為什麼要避免其他語句，幫助他們成為熟練的FORTRAN程式設計師。
