HECToR

This course will teach you everything you need to know to program in Fortran 95, and we assume no prior knowledge of programming. We cover basics data types, arrays, IFs, loops, functions, subroutines and modules, input and output and the many built in functions of Fortran. We will also discuss some of the feature of Fortran 2003/8. Throughout the course we will emphasise good programming practise and each section of the course is supported by practical exercises.

For more information see the syllabus.

Aimed at

Anyone interested in learning scientific programming.

Prerequisites

Attendees should be familiar with working in a UNIX environment (i.e., you should be able to connect to a machine remotely, use basic UNIX commands, edit a source file and understand the elementary steps in compiling object files and creating executables).

Duration
