Contemporary Computing for Engineers and Scientists Using Fortran 90
Contemporary Computing for Engineers and Scientists Using Fortran 90 Author:Chester Forsythe Contemporary Computing for Engineers and Scientists Using Fortran 90 teaches students in engineering and science in an efficient new approach to solving problems using Fortran 90 and spreadsheets. The book provides a complete introduction to procedural program design, emphasizing the use of subroutine libraries whenever possible to take advantag... more »e of existing Fortran code. Immediately after laying down the principles of program design (in Chapter 2), Forsythe introduces subroutines (in Chapter 3) and demonstrates use of library subroutines, supported with a wealth of examples from engineering and science fields, forms the basis for the author's discussion of efficient procedural programming methods throughout the book. In addition, reflecting the author's view that practicing engineers and scientists should "choose the right tool for the job at hand," the book includes two optional chapter-length sections on spreadsheet applications that demonstrate their usefulness as a time-saving alternative to Fortran programs in solving "what-if" design problems.« less
