Best Way for a Physics Major to Learn Fortran?

[QUOTE="Mark44, post: 5981136, member: 147785"] That was my experience as well, in a class using Fortran that I took in 1980. Fortunately I had had a class (using PL/C) several years before, so I understood the drill -- use a card punch machine to type the lines of your code, add JCL (job control language) cards to the front and back of your card deck, and submit your job. Come back the next day to see whether your code ran or not. My first computer, an Apple //e, was in '82, and I bought my first PC in '87 (with a Commodore Amiga in between). By that time I was teaching classes in C and in Fortran, so I had the Mix C compiler (about $30) and the Lahey Fortran compiler (about $90, as I recall). Being able to write code on your own computer made all the difference in the world. [/QUOTE]
