FORTRAN 90 for Scientists and Engineers

Summary: A fantastic book for renewing oneself to Fortran 90
Review: It has been many years since I did Fortran programming, but once I decided to get involved for professional reasons, this was an excellent choice.

The author slowly and extremely methodically exposes the reader to the Fortran 90 language with what I will coin "computational motivation." Simply stated, just when the chapter gets you thinking about "how to...", BANG, Brian Hahn begins to address that very issue with source code and explanations! I cannot say enough about this book for the beginner or intermediate level Fortran programmer. Please, do yourself an enormous favor if you are interested in using this extremely powerful (and fairly simple!) numerical language for engineering, science, applied mathematics and even financials...take a look at this text on the subject!!
