Description

Appropriate for introductory courses involving Fortran 90 in computer science and engineering departments.

Based on a best seller, this text is a complete and thorough presentation of standard Fortran 90 with special applications in science and engineering. This text emphasizes problem-solving and structured program development following basic software engineering principles. Its clear and concise presentation is perfect for students with no previous programming experience.


Features

  • 30 special Application Sections illustrate problem solving using a variety of interesting engineering and science problems. A four-step problem-solving method is used in each application:

    • A specification is developed. Pg.___

    • An algorithm is designed. Pg.___

    • A program is written. Pg.___

    • It is then tested and used to solve the problem. Pg.___

  • A large number of complete programs and sample runs throughout the text illustrate basic programming concepts and demonstrate good structure and style. They are selected from a wide range of areas in engineering, math, and science. Pg.___
  • Effective pedagogical tools include:

    • Chapter Summaries that include concise Fortran 90 summaries. Pg.___

    • Many examples of applied problem-solving. Pg.___

    • Quick quizzes to test understanding of basic Fortran 90 concepts. Pg.___

  • Programming Pointers at the end of each chapter give guidelines for program design and style and point out common programming pitfalls. Pg.___
  • Includes Exercises and Problems:

    • 300 new Quick Quiz questions. Pg.___

    • 500 exercises. Pg.___

    • 230 programming problems. Pg.___

    • Solutions to all exercises and almost all programming problems are in the solutions manual and program solutions are also available on disk.

  • Source code for example programs is available at Prentice Hall FTP site. Pg.___
  • Provides complete and thorough coverage of standard Fortran 90. Pg.___
