Book Description
This open book provides an introduction to programming and problem solving using the Fortran 95/2003/2008 programming language. This introduction is geared for non-computer science majors. The primary focus is on an introduction to problem solving and algorithm development. As such, many details of the Fortran 95/2003/2008 language are omitted.
Programming a computer is basically applied problem solving. You are given a problem, the problem is analyzed, a solution is developed, and then that solution is implemented and tested. Enhanced problem solving skills can be applied to any endeavor. These basic skills, once developed, can be applied to other programming languages, MATLAB, or even spreadsheet macros.
Fortran is a programming language often used by the scientific community. Its name is a contraction of FORmula TRANslation. FORTRAN is one of the earliest programming languages and was designed specifically for solving scientific and engineering computational problems.
This book utilizes the Fortran 95/2003/2008 standard. Older versions of Fortran, like Fortran 77, are not referenced. The older Fortran versions have less features and require additional, often burdensome, formatting requirements.
