SUMMARY:Research Software Forum - Fortran for Scientific Programming
DESCRIPTION:The Research Software Forum is a series of short talks and 
 mini-workshops on anything related to Research Software.   Talks can cover 
 techniques researchers use\, tools they have found useful\, or how they use 
 software and hardware as part of their research.  These are designed to be 
 more informal than formal training\, and the talks are more of a starting 
 point for discussions and networking.\n\nThis RSF is a mini-workshop on 
 Fortran for Scientific Programming\n\nWho is this for?\n\nPhD students\, 
 Researchers\, Staff\n\nWhy attend this?\n\nIf you have never used Fortran 
 before and want to learn how to\; have used Fortran but want some formal 
 training or need to advance your knowledge\; This is aimed at beginners\, 
 but will probably be of use to intermediate users\, especially if you 
 learnt an older version of Fortran.\n\nPrerequisite skills: No prior 
 knowledge of Fortran required.\n\nResources Required: You need to bring 
 your own laptop to work on\, with a Fortran compiler installed.  gfortran 
 is recommended\, and installation instructions can be found here: 
 https://fortran-lang.org/en/learn/os_setup/install_gfortran/\n\nLearning 
 Objectives\n\n\n	Understand what Fortran is and basic usage\n	Be able to 
 create a simple function and print to screen (Hello World)\n	Learn how to 
 declare and use variables (including different types such as 
 floats)\n	Overview of flow control using loops and 
 conditionals\n	Understand Arrays\, Functions and Subroutines\n\n\nBy the 
 end\, attendees will have built a simple model of a two-particle system 
 acting under Coulomb's law\, using functions and subroutines to break up 
 the program. They will also have learned how to write the output to a 
 file.\n\nDuration: 2 hours\n\nLocation: Digital Scholarship Lab in the 
 Library\n\n
