This text was designed with three objectives in mind: to introduce engineering and science students to a problem solving technique that they can use in solving engineering problems; to provide a fundamental understanding of computers and to specifically develop a working knowledge of FORTRAN 77; and to motivate and excite students about engineering, and help them understand the types of problems that engineers solve. * Engineering and Science Applications. Over 600 examples and problems representing a wide range of engineering and science applications, related to engineering disciplines ranging from mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering to cutting-edge fields such as genetic, robotic and environmental engineering. * Five-Step Problem Solving Methodology. The five-step problem solving methodology is consistently used throughout this Edition. The five steps are: * State the problem clearly. * Describe the input and the output. * Work the problem by hand (or with a calculator) for a specific set of data. * Develop a solution that is general in nature. * Test the algorithm with a variety of data sets. * Engineering Case Studies. The application sections form a set of 30 engineering case studies. Each case study includes a detailed development of the problem's solution along with sample data to illustrate testing the algorithm. * Complete FORTRAN 77 Coverage. Complete coverage of FORTRAN 77 makes this book not only suitable for the first-time computer user but also as a valuable reference for the experienced user. In addition, only standard FORTRAN 77 statements and structures are used so all programs and statements are compatible with any FORTRAN 77 compiler. * Fortran 90 Coverage. Fortran 90 is discussed in detailed notes throughout the text and in a special chapter at the end.

This text introduces the beginner to FORTRAN. To help the reader develop analysis skills while learning programming, engineering computations are incorporated with sound programming practices. Eight major programming assignments sections, each with a sample and solved model, illustrate the methods of preceding chapters, as well as introduce discussions concerning engineering orientation. This second edition integrates numerous advanced topics in numerical methods as they relate to computational procedures in order to reinforce their application in other courses such as calculus and physics. Topics especially tailored to the beginning user include matrix equations, root of functions, curve-fitting, series expansions, integration and differentiation and differential equations.

Classical FORTRAN: Programming for Engineering and Scientific Applications, Second Edition teaches how to write programs in the Classical dialect of FORTRAN, the original and still most widely recognized language for numerical computing. This edition retains the conversational style of the original, along with its simple, carefully chosen subset la

Offering a clear tutorial guide for 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.Features comprehensive coverage of all the major language features, with clear guidelines on the differences between the 77 and 90 standards case studies illustrating its applications in scientific problem-solving two authoritative chapters in coding numerical methods in Fortran 90 an early introduction to procedures and modules to encourage a structural approach to programming 0201544466B04062001
