A guide to problem-solving and algorithm design using pseudo-code. The author aims to show how using computers and Fortran 95 it is possible to tackle and solve a wide range of problems as they might be encountered in engineering or in the physical sciences. Each chapter includes at least two complete programming applications which become progressively more challenging. Students new to computing should find the range of problems both accessible and relevant to their other studies. There is a brief introduction to computing in general.
