1. Preface
The goal of this Fortran tutorial is to give a quick introduction
to the most common features of the Fortran 77 and Fortran 90
programming languages.
It is not a complete reference! Many details have been
omitted. The presentation focuses on scientific computations, mainly
linear algebra. The outline of this tutorial was inspired by the book
"Handbook for Matrix Computations" by T.F. Coleman and C. Van Loan,
published by SIAM. Sections of this
tutorial pertaining to Fortran 90 were based on the book "FORTRAN 77
for Engineers and Scientists with an Introduction to Fortran 90" by
L. Nyhoff and S. Leestma published by Prentice Hall.
This tutorial was designed to be used in the course
SCCM-001-F: Introduction to Fortran at Stanford University, 1996.
