Integration of functions in Fortran

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around learning Fortran, particularly focusing on the integration of functions. Participants share resources, tutorials, and personal experiences related to acquiring knowledge in Fortran programming, especially for those with limited computer science backgrounds.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in finding tutorials for Fortran after learning the basics and seeks guidance on resources.
  • Another participant suggests the Open Source Physics website as a resource for understanding computational simulations in physics, which may provide insights into integration.
  • A link to "Numerical Recipes - FORTRAN version" is shared as a potential resource for learning numerical methods in Fortran.
  • A participant mentions using a specific book for learning Fortran, which they find suitable for those with a non-advanced computer science background.
  • A question is raised about whether the book mentioned needs to be ordered or if it is available for download online.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the challenge of finding suitable Fortran tutorials and share various resources, but no consensus exists on a single best approach or resource.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express a lack of advanced computer science knowledge, which may influence their resource preferences and learning approaches.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in learning Fortran, particularly those with limited computer science backgrounds, and those looking for resources on numerical integration in programming.

I've recently stated using Fortran (I downloaded 'Silverfrost') and am hitting a block. I've learned the basics, but I can't find any more tutorials.

My professor (who I plan on doing research for) suggests that I get familiar with Fortran, especially integration of functions. I do not have the strongest comp-sci background, so if anyone knows of any websites, tutorials, or any type of guide out there for Fortran, I would appreciate some help; or even personal advice!

Obviously, being on the internet I've searched for one, but I haven't came back with much luck.

you might try looking at the Open Source Physics website www.compadre.org/osp where they use java to do comp simulations of physics. There are sample simulations that integrate the equations of motion for pendulums and springs... that can give you an idea on how its done.
 
Hi MPKU.
I got the same condition. I have been doing searching for fortran tutorials for weeks n now I am using this book, https://www.amazon.com/dp/0073191574/?tag=pfamazon01-20.

I think it's quite good for not so advanced comp-sci background like us, I am aerospace major btw.
