This comprehensive volume provides a complete, accessible, and up-to-date introduction to FORTRAN 77 with special emphasis on problem solving. Based on the best-selling FORTRAN 77 for Engineers and Scientists, Third Edition, it emphasizes sound, structured programming and software engineering principles, as well as careful descriptions of a variety of numerical methods that are particularly useful in solving science and engineering problems.
More specifically, FORTRAN 77 and Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists:
Organizes the discussion of FORTRAN so that students can begin writing programs almost immediately.
Concludes each chapter with Programming Pointers that highlight major features and point out programming pitfalls and special design and style suggestions.
Introduces subprograms early, making it possible to design programs in a modular fashion.
Emphasizes numerical methods commonly used in science and engineering.
Includes more than 250 written and programming exercises drawn from areas relevant to science and engineering students.
Features chapter-length treatment and special sections that describe the new features of FORTRAN 90.
