1 Introduction
1.5 Organisation of Work
The author recommends to keep all FORTRAN, SciLab and data files belonging
to an exercise in a single folder. Opening SciLab from this folder will open the
SciLab program in the right directory finding the relevant data input files, previously
created by a FORTRAN code. This “single-folder approach” helped the author to
save valuable amounts of time that otherwise would have been wasted on endless
file searches.
1.6 Download of Computer Codes
FORTRAN simulation codes and SciLab animation scripts for exercises of this book
can be downloaded from:
http://extra.springer.com
A file called “Info.txt” is provided for each exercise giving further instructions.
Additional codes referred to in the text are found in the folder “Miscellaneous” on
the above ftp site. Files can be downloaded with right-mouse click and “Save Target
as...”. The author made these codes only available for “lazy” readers. Best learning
outcomes are achieved when creating own codes from scratch.
