'The book is excellent. It is written in such a way that simple programs can already be coded after the first three chapters have been read.' (EMS Newsletter )
Readers who are familiar with Fortran 90/95 Explained by Michael Malcolm and John Reid will be pleased to add Fortran 95/2003 Explained, with the welcome addition of Malcolm Cohen as co-author, to their libraries. As with the previous work, this is a model of clear exposition ... Practitioners will be happy to have this important new book. (ACM Fortran Forum )

Product Description
Fortran remains one of the principal languages used in scientific, numerical, and engineering programming, and a series of revisions to the standard versions of the language have progressively enhanced its power. The latest standard -- Fortran 2003 -- greatly extends the power of the language, by introducing object-oriented concepts, interoperability with C, better integration with operating systems and many other enhancements. This text details all these new features. Fortran 95/2003 Explained, significantly expands on the second edition of Fortran 90/95 Explained (also published by Oxford University Press): the opening chapters contain a complete description of the Fortran 95 language and are followed by descriptions of three formally approved extensions; six completely new chapters describe in detail the features that are new in Fortran 2003, but the distinction between the various language levels is kept clear throughout. Authored by three leading experts in the development of the language, this is a complete and authoritative description of the two languages (Fortran 95 and Fortran 2003). It is intended for new and existing users of Fortran, and for all those involved in scientific and numerical computing. It is suitable as textbook for teaching and, with its extensive index, as a handy reference for practitioners.

Format:Paperback
This book is a perfect, in depth, companion for anyone already familiar with Fortran, or very familiar with a variety of other languages. It is far too technical for someone to learn to program from scratch as it contains all the aspects of the 95 and 2003 standards with excellent examples. The only thing the book lacks is a section on parallel processing.
Format:Paperback
When I first started with Fortran I got this book. At first I thought " OMG this is a total mess " but spending more and more time using Fortran I found out that the this book tells you only but the truth right from the start. This book uses the jargon of Fortran and high level programming from the first page making a bit difficult to be understood just by say ... taking a look in it. However, the book manages to teach you something very important, which is reading a specific Fortran compiler 's manual and specific instructions given from the standard. This task is accomplished by the persistency of the writters in informing you about how the programming language is arranged and intraconnected among what looks like being different at first glance. Moreover, after passing from the learner's level to the user's level this book can be a great handbook for looking up every detail of the fortran standard, which has many important implications. For example, making sure that internal compiler errors (ice) are really internal compiler errors they are not caused by a you, the programmer. I really can't wait for the Modern Fortran Explained.
Format:Paperback
An excellent book, in fact the book I would recommend to any programmer coming to Fortran. All aspects of the language are considered clearly yet concisely with relevant examples and exercises - in fact it is the K&R of the Fortran world, and I can't praise it higher than that!

An excellent book
This is an excellent introduction to the latest versions of fortran. Well written and compact, it is just right to make the transition to modern fortran.
