Numerical Computing With Modern Fortran

The Fortran language standard has undergone significant upgrades in recent years (1990, 1995, 2003, and 2008). Numerical Computing with Modern Fortran illustrates many of these improvements through practical solutions to a number of scientific and engineering problems.
Readers will discover techniques for modernizing algorithms written in Fortran; examples of Fortran interoperating with C or C++ programs, plus using the IEEE floating-point standard for efficiency; illustrations of parallel Fortran programming using coarrays, MPI, and OpenMP; and a supplementary website with downloadable source codes discussed in the book.
Audience: This book is intended for Fortran programmers seeking to update their programming skills using the language s latest features and for C and C++ programmers who want to understand key software aspects of numerical computing using modern Fortran. It is suitable for an upper-level undergraduate or early graduate course on advanced numerical scientific computing.
