The Fortran programming language is still - despite of its long history - one of the standard and most useful languages in scientific computing. This first course in Fortran 95/2003 programming will give the participants basic knowledge on the Fortran 95 programming language (with glimpses on the later revisions of the Fortran standard) and its most useful constructs. Both days include lectures and practical hands-on exercises.
