Fortran

Fortran language & Fortran programming. Fortran, an acronym meaning "FORmula TRANslation" language, was developed in the 1950s to simplify scientific programming. One of the first computer languages destined to be machine-independent, it allows a programmer to write in algebraic notation forms. Earlier versions were spartan in design, but technological advances allow useful features for a variety of applications. Fortran's programs call for short computer time, helpful to long computations such as weather forecasting, and is accessible from many different computer operating systems.
