                      Fortran 90/95 Language Programming

  Description

  This course presents the new Fortran 90 language for programmers who 
  do not know Fortran.  The Fortran 90 language will addressed for 
  programmers who know C, Pascal, BASIC or some other high level language.
  The language syntax, structure, variable types, and usage will all be
  explained in detail.  It also discusses the f90 command line, and 
  implementation choices such as kind numbers. Fortran 95 additions
  are also covered.

  Prerequisites

  o programming experience
  o Experience with appropriate OS commands

  Length

  5 days
