Overview

The curriculum for the doctoral students consists of a series of courses, which are offered at irregular frequency. The Executive Committee of the Research School discusses the curriculum, adding and modifying courses when found advantageous or important for the training of the doctoral students. Students may request the arrangement of specific courses from the Executive Committee.

I_04 Introduction to FORTRAN
Credits: 2, Days: 5, Block course

Course Dates / Times:

25 - 29 May 2009 9:00 - 12:00  and 14:00 - 17:00


Content:



Introduction to the programming language FORTRAN 95

•    Learning about Language elements, especially I/O, arrays and procedures
•    Designing and writing programs
•    Emphasis is laid on working with data sets

Course Structure:

This course makes use of the e-learning module 'FORTRAN 95' accessible on our OLAT platform (https://uhh-srv-olatweb.rrz.uni-hamburg.de:443/olat/auth/repo/go?rid=172425236.

The course will be composed of self-study as well as hands-on sessions, the latter focusing Q/A and exercises. The e-learning parts are generally scheduled for the mornings so that doubts and problems can be discussed in the afternoons. However, on the first day we will start with a general introductory lecture.

If you do not yet have an account for the OLAT platform, please contact Cornelia Kampmann cornelia.kampmann@zmaw.de.

Prerequisites:

First, practice with the operation system UNIX is required. Second, although the course comprises a complete FORTRAN 95 introduction, experience in a programming language is highly recommended (but not necessarily in FORTRAN).

A couple of weeks prior to the course you will be asked to take a short test to assess your programming skills. Depending on the results, you might have to do some reading before the course starts.
