Artikelnummer 10125938

Instructor's review copy. Fortran for Scientists and Engineers, Fourth Edition, teaches both the fundamentals of the Fortran language and a structured programming style that result in easily maintained large Fortran programs. Intended for both scientific/engineering students and practicing professionals in the field, this book is the ideal Fortran resource. This book teaches Fortran in a style suitable for use on large projects. It emphasizes the importance of going through a detailed design process before any code is written, using a top-down design technique to break up the program into logical portions that can be implemented separately. It stresses the use of procedures to implement those individual portions, and the importance of unit testing before the procedures are combined into a finished product. It emphasizes the importance of exhaustively testing the finished program with many different input data sets before it is released for use, and teaches Fortran as it is actually encountered by engineers and scientists working in industry and in laboratories.
