Fortran for Scientific Computing

Fortran is a powerful tool for scientific programming

Fortran is a programming language designed for scientific computing. It allows users to express numerical problems naturally.

This course will teach you how to write Fortran programs, a popular programming language, to solve numerical problems.

Learn how to use Fortran for solving numerical problems

You'll be able to learn from the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, (PRICE) and other computing experts how to use modern programming paradigms for solving numerical problems.

This includes understanding how to use object-oriented programming in order to design maintainable and efficient code and being aware possible pitfalls and correctness.

Explore data types and scientific computing library

Identify the different numerical data types in Fortran (including user defined types), examine character data, logical data, and dive into functions and subroutines.

You'll learn about control flow statements, file I/O and how Fortran interacts to numerical libraries like LAPACK and BLAS.

Learn how to program In Fortran

You'll leave with a solid foundation in Fortran, an understanding of Fortran best practices and a better understanding of why it is an excellent choice for high performance computing.
