  Modern Fortran explained (4th ed.)
Metcalf M., Reid J., Cohen M., Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, NY, 2011. 512 pp.  Type: Book (978-0-199601-41-7)

Reports of Fortran’s death are greatly exaggerated. The language is still used extensively and very successfully for scientific computation on both sequential and parallel architectures. This is perhaps hardly surprising give...

Metcalf M., Reid J., Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, NY, 1987.  Type: Book (9789780198537311)

This is an informal, readable description of the current state of the draft FORTRAN 8x language standard. The authors say it is written as a textbook, but it lacks significant programming examples and follows a feature-by-feature layou...
