INF-VERK4820 – Fortran 77/95 programming
Course description
Course content
This course primarily gives an introduction to the programming language Fortran 95, but at the same time also provides an overview of the Fortran 77 programming language. Applications of the knowledge learned at the course are aimed at writing efficient code for numerical calculations and data structures for arrays, grids, fields, particles, etc. Examples given in this course match a corresponding course in C++ programming such that similarities/differences between C/C++ and Fortran 77/95 become evident.
Learning outcome
The objective is to provide the students with an overview and training in Fortran 95 such that they can efficiently do programming related to scientific simulation in their master-degree projects.
Admission
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Prerequisites
Recommended previous knowledge
Knowledge about at least one programming language.
