Fortran

General-purpose programming language

Fortran (formerly FORTRAN) is a third-generation, compiled, imperative programming language designed for numeric computation and scientific computing. Fortran was originally developed by IBM with a reference manual being released in 1956; however, the first compilers only began to produce accurate code two years later. Fortran computer programs have been written to support scientific and engineering applications, such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, plasma physics, geophysics, computational physics, crystallography and computational chemistry.
