Written by members of the Fortran 90 ISO and ANSI committees, this book is the source of the most important information about the powerful Fortran 90 programming language. It is organized so that it may be read beginning to end, but also so that particular topics may be studied directly. All of the important new features of Fortran 90 are covered with examples and case studies are used to illustrate the practical use of features. There are also simple problems designed to enable the reader to exercise their knowledge of the topics learned. Amongst the features of this book are: - free source form, new do and case constructs, recursion, modules, data structures, array processing, internal procedures, optional and keyword arguments, and nonadvancing input/output; - extensive examples of Fortran 90 programs; - case studies that illustrate the practical use of Fortran 90 features; - style notes; - extensive discussion of input/output facilities; - the complete syntax of Fortran 90.

A solid, well-written introduction to the language
Mar 4 1997
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
After looking through most of the available texts, we chose
this this book to teach a course on Fortran-90 to scientists and engineers at NASA. It is especially helpful to programmers with a good understanding of Fortran-77 who want to make the transition to this powerful revision of the language. The book covers the most useful new features (array processing, allocateable memory, derived types, encapsulation) very thoroughly. The writing is generally clear, cogent, and understandable. The only thing lacking is a complete treatment of language intrinsic functions, for which you need the large (and expensive) language handbook.

Excellent

I use this book over the Compaq fortran 90 language manual sometimes. Examples are easy to follow and the writing is very clear. Many examples. There is a nice section at the back on obsolete fortran 77 conventions, and their replacements. It's a nice compact book too - you don't realize how much information it contains because it's not enormous and heavy. I recommend it to anybody

The ebook was not proof read

I am very disappointed with the ebook version. It has obvious errors. The ebook version has not been proof read and it should have been before it was released to the public. In section 4.1.4 Array Constructors, there is meant to be a 2x3 array. Instead there is incomprehensible nonsense. A row that should be inside the array appears before the sentence before the array! There are brackets going over the text. There are also brackets that are missing. There are spaces in code where there should not be spaces. I compared the hard copy with the ebook version. The hard copy does not have those obvious errors. I have complained to Amazon and I have asked them to inform me when the publisher corrects those obvious errors. I would like to have a correct version of the book because I need it for a programming course. Springer has a good reputation in Academic areas. I expected more from such a reputable publisher. I could do a better version of the book if I typed it myself using LaTeX.
