摘要

Fortran - what an antiquated affair! Who still programs today in Fortran? These are perhaps the initial reactions to the present book. The authors also expect this; accordingly they provide in the first chapter reasons why Fortran is even today still the computer language of their choice: Fortran is still unrivalled with respect to computing speed. Moreover, ready-to-run routines abound. Lastly, the new standard (Fortran 90/95) offers far-reaching comfort, making programming in Fortran not such a great imposition.
