Mathematical Examples

Abstract

The aims of this chapter are to look at several mathematical examples in Fortran. Using linked lists for sparse matrix problems. The solution of a set of ordinary differential equations using the Runge–Kutta–Merson method, with the use of a procedure as a parameter, and the use of work arrays. Diagonal extraction of a matrix. The solution of linear equations using Gaussian elimination An elemental e**x function

You look at science (or at least talk of it) as some sort of demoralising invention of man, something apart from real life, and which must be cautiously guarded and kept separate from everyday existence. But science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.
