FORTRAN WITH PYTHON

Description

"FORTRAN WITH PYTHON" by Hayden Van Der Post and Vincent Bisette is likely a book or educational resource that teaches how to integrate the FORTRAN programming language with Python. FORTRAN (short for "Formula Translation") is a high-level programming language used primarily for numerical and scientific computing. It has been widely used in academia, research, and engineering for decades due to its efficiency in handling mathematical computations. Python, on the other hand, is a versatile and popular programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It is widely used in various fields, including web development, data science, machine learning, and automation. Combining FORTRAN with Python can offer the best of both worlds: the speed and efficiency of FORTRAN for numerical computations and the flexibility and ease of use of Python for scripting, visualization, and other tasks. In a book like "FORTRAN WITH PYTHON," readers can expect to learn how to: 1. Integrate existing FORTRAN code into Python applications. 2. Call FORTRAN subroutines or functions from Python code. 3. Utilize Python libraries and tools for scientific computing in conjunction with FORTRAN. 4. Develop hybrid applications that leverage the strengths of both languages. 5. Optimize performance by harnessing the computational power of FORTRAN alongside Python's versatility. This integration can be particularly useful for researchers, engineers, and scientists who have legacy FORTRAN codebases or require the high performance of FORTRAN for numerical calculations while still benefiting from the extensive libraries and ecosystem of Python.
