This complete tutorial by three authors who contributed to the development of the FORTRAN 90 standard places a special emphasis on science and engineering applications. Building on the lead author'ssuccessful work, FORTRAN 77 Programming, the book provides a complete explanation of the new features of FORTRAN 90.

Offering a clear tutorial guide to the new Fortran 90 language, this book highlights Fortran 90's role as a powerful tool for problem solving in engineering and science. Having been involved in the development of the new standard, the authors provide (as a bonus) an inside perspective on the design rationale behind the major features of Fortran 90.
