Publisher's Synopsis
A balanced treatment of FORTRAN is provided by this introductory text which emphasizes modular program planning and design as well as structured programming - the most important features in modern engineering practice. It offers clear, detailed treatments of modularity, hierarchic design, and modern programming practice, as well as a conceptual approach to software tools. All material is illustrated by complete programs, written and tested under several popular FORTRAN compilers. The programs display interactive input/output techniques. Quick-reference summaries throughout the text highlight the main points covered. In addition to discussing all aspects of FORTRAN, this edition pays special attention to interactive runs commonly taught on PCs.;The previous edition of this book was published in 1984.
