Finding a Good Fortran Intro Text: Examples & Exercises

[Somefantastik]

Can someone suggest a good fortran introductory text, with examples and exercises?

Fortran 90/95 (or 95/03) for scientists and engineers (by Chapman) is a good introduction/reference book - it's very comprehensive, and it has lots of well worked examples & exercises

I understand the importance of finding a good introductory text for Fortran with examples and exercises. Fortran is a powerful programming language commonly used in scientific computing, and having a strong foundation in it can greatly benefit any researcher or scientist.

There are several options for Fortran introductory texts with examples and exercises, depending on your specific needs and background in programming. Some popular choices include "Fortran 95/2003 for Scientists and Engineers" by Stephen Chapman, "Modern Fortran: Style and Usage" by Norman S. Clerman and Walter Spector, and "Introduction to Fortran 90/95" by Stephen J. Chapman.

It may also be helpful to seek out online resources, such as tutorials or video lectures, to supplement your learning. Additionally, many universities offer courses or workshops on Fortran, which can provide hands-on experience and guidance from experienced instructors.

In summary, I recommend thoroughly researching and comparing various Fortran introductory texts to find the one that best suits your needs and learning style. With dedication and practice, you will soon become proficient in Fortran and be able to apply it to your scientific research. Good luck!
