Scientific Software Development in Fortran

Fortran is the oldest high-level programming language still in use today. It is widely used in scientific and technical fields and has evolved over the years into a powerful numerical programming language with excellent support for high-performance computing and data processing. This text provides an introduction to the most commonly-used modern variant of the language Fortran 90/95. Unlike most texts on Fortran there is a strong emphasis on design and software engineering. The reader is not only introduced to the language syntax but also to how language constructs are best combined to build robust software.
