FORTRAN

High-level computer-programming language suited to mathematical and scientific computations. Developed by John Backus at IBM in 1956, it is one of the earliest computer languages still in use. A recent version, Fortran 90, is now being used on advanced parallel computers. BASIC was strongly influenced by FORTRAN and is similar in many ways. As of 2006, Fortran 2003 was the latest and most advanced of the many versions of the language.
