FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAMMING WITH FORTRAN 77

About the book

• This is an introductory book on FORTRAN 77. It explains clearly the fundamental concepts of various parts of the language.

  All the concepts presented in the book are clearly discussed in detail, and are treated with a good number of example programs. The fundamental ideas of good programming style are made clear, and the importance of correct flow of control in the design of a good program is lucidly described. Salient features of the book are :

  * Emphasis on basic principles

  * Simple, lucid and easy language

  * Step-by-step treatment

  * Carefully selected example programs

  * Good number of exercises at the end of each chapter.

  The book should prove to be extremely useful to undergraduate Science and Engineering students studying Computer Programming in FORTRAN 77 as a part of their Degree or Diploma requirements. The book should also be useful to students studying in short term courses.
