Professor wants me to start using some legacy code to simulate electron collisions that they're working on downstairs. I don't know anything about fortran!
 
I used this book while learning Fortran in a first-year CS course; it's likely to be too much if you just need a brief introduction. I hope for your sanity that it's Fortran 90, not Fortran 77 (or god forbid, an even earlier version). There are numerous Fortran tutorials on Google as well.
 
Fortran 4 worked great for me for 10+ years.😛

F77 for another 15 years.

Heh. I was familiar enough with line numbers due to starting with the Advanced BASIC in the IBM PS/2 ROM many years ago, but the concept of starting lines of code on a particular column was a little annoying. Hey, at least it's not COBOL. 😉
 
It is an easy language, similar to BASIC in syntax. If you use any other language, you can sit with a programming guide and code it. No special magic characters required. Line numbers only required on Goto targets IIRC.

It was the first language I took classes for in 1979. WATFIV on IBM 360 baby (WATerloo Fortran IV). 😛
