2 comments about Advanced Scientific Fortran.

1. On the verge of the 21st century, FORTRAN as a language is practically dead, since it does not offer modern programming facilities and features commonly found in newer languages.

   With the user base declining in quantity and quality (Misha Kagalenko sets a vivid example of the decline in quality), new books on Fortran, especially those that provide essentially no new information to the readers, are almost doomed to fail.

   To expound a little more on the example of Kagalenko, his remarks about relative performance of FORTRAN compared to C++ show outstanding ignorance about the state of contemporary computing.




2. A book that shows the whole field well. It goes beyond the tutorial books and has handy source code for some practical programs you should run. It also covers resources. I had my school library buy a copy after reading the authors' post on Usenet about the book in comp.lang.fortran. But with computers at home who can access Fortran?
