Mastering Fortran: From Legacy Systems to Modern Applications is the definitive guide for mastering one of the oldest—and still one of the most powerful—languages in scientific and high-performance computing. Whether you're maintaining legacy codebases at national labs, developing complex simulations, or exploring parallel computing, this book bridges the gap between Fortran’s storied past and its critical role in today’s modern computing environments.
This comprehensive guide covers:
Clean, modular Fortran code design using modern Fortran standards (90/95/2003/2008/2018)
Advanced numerical methods and algorithms for scientific and engineering applications
Interfacing Fortran with C, Python, and external libraries for hybrid systems
Memory management, precision control, and parallel processing with OpenMP and MPI
Porting and optimizing legacy Fortran 77 code for today's systems without compromising performance
Whether you're a seasoned engineer working in climate modeling, aerospace, or quantum physics—or a new programmer fascinated by the endurance of Fortran—this book delivers everything you need to become fluent in the language that powers the world's most demanding computational workloads.
Why Fortran? Because in a world obsessed with the new, performance still matters. And no language has aged with more grace—or more raw numerical power—than Fortran.
