Features
- the discussion of FORTRAN is moved earlier in the text—so students can begin writing programs in Chapter 1.
- Special sections at the end of each chapter, and a separate Chapter 13, provide an introduction to features that will be included in ANSI standard Fortran 90.
- Programming Pointers at the ends of each chapter point out common programming pitfalls and proper design and style techniques.
- Special Applications sections illustrate problem solving in a variety of areas. A problem is described, its specification is developed, its algorithms are designed, and a program is then developed and tested.
- A large number of complete programs and sample runs throughout the text illustrate basic programming concepts and demonstrate good structure and style. They are selected from a wide range of areas in engineering, math and science.
- Fortran 90 example programs inlcuded.
- Effective pedagogical tools include: boxed items to emphasize language features; many examples of applied problem solving; quick quizzes to test understanding of basic concepts; and chapter summaries.
- Problem material includes more than: 300 NEW Quick Quiz questions, 500 exercises, and 230 programming problems.
- Disk containing all sample programs and data files included.

Appropriate for introductory courses involving FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90 in computer science and engineering departments.
- This text is a complete presentation of standard FORTRAN 77. It surpasses the coverage of its best-selling predecessor, FORTRAN 77 for Engineers and Scientists, Third Edition, by adding a current introduction to Fortran 90.
- This text emphasizes sound structured programming and software engineering principles. Its clear and concise presentation is perfect for students who possess a background in algebra, with no previous programming experience.
