Anyone know of a good fortran book?

Dealing with Fortran 77

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

I have a board game called Fortran. I have yet to find anyone to play it with me.

Engineering? Hmm..I haven't gotten to that area yet. I'll ask my instructor on wed.

The classic Fortran 77 text book was, many years ago:

FORTRAN 77 with Numerical Methods: Engineers and Scientists, Delores M. Etter, Sally Elliott (Ed.) (Benjamin-Cummings, ISBN 0805317708, 2/92)

Not surprisingly, it's out-of-print. I don't know what the good books on Fortran 90/95 are, never need them.

Try this andthis.

What exactly are you doing? Strict Fortran 77 can be quite ugly--it still has line numbers. Can you use Fortran90? If so, the gnu complier has some excellent documentation. 90 also has allocatable memory and such (which is nice if your optimizing).

Oh... and just so you know... Intel's Fortran compiler for Linux is free. And very very fast.
