Chapman's Fortran for Scientists and Engineers is intended for both first year engineering students and practicing engineers. It simultaneously teaches the Fortran 90/95 programming language, structured programming techniques, and good programming practice. Among its strengths are its concise, clear explanations of Fortran syntax and programming procedures, the inclusion of a wealth of examples and exercises to help students grasp difficult concepts, and its explanations about how to understand code written for older versions of Fortran.
