Modern Fortran in Science and Technology

Modern Fortran in Science and Technology

Authors: Jonas Lindemann and Ola Dahlblom

This book is an introduction in programming with Fortran 95/2003/2008 in science and technology. The book also covers methods for integrating Fortran code with other programming languages both dynamic (Python) and compiled languages (C++). An introduction in using modern development enrvironments such as QtCreator/Eclipse/Photran, for debugging and development is also given.

You can find the book in a more readable form at Read The Docs at the following link:

You can also find all the examples in the book in the source directory of this repo. All examples can be built using CMake as shown below:

$ git clone https://github.com/jonaslindemann/modern_fortran_book.git
$ cd modern_fortran_book/source
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

It will require a fortran compiler installed in the search path.

modern_fortran_book's Issues

add topics, link to site

I suggest adding the topic fortran-tutorial in the About section.

I suggest adding a link to your site https://modern-fortran-in-science-and-technology.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ in the Readme so that people who see this repo can visit the site.

a few bugs found

Thanks for a great resource!

After a cursory reading of some chapters, I've found following "bugs":

1. "The Fortran Language" chapter, "program case_sample", case (:0) should result in write(,) 'Less than one.' (instead of "Greater")
2. "Fortran and Python" - there are several places where one reads "-function", "-variables", "-file" or "-attributes" with apparently lacking a term immediately preceding the "-". I guess it should be "C-xxxx" but probably it requires a verification
3. There are places where "raw syntax" can be seen, like ftype{integer} or "10:math:^{-300}" but that might be just deficiency of the browser (checked in Firefox and Chrome on Linux)
