New to this edition - The complete and only authoritative description of the new standard Fortran 2003.
All obsolete material has been removed.
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.Readership: Undergraduate and graduate
students, professional programmers, physical scientists, mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists.

"'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
