The absolutely best C tutorial for already experienced programmers
who don't know C (are there any left?) is Kernighan and Ritchie's
"The C Programming Language"; in most cases the Second Edition is
preferred.

C is so much more suited to general applications than Fortran that
limiting one's attention to science/engineering applications would
produce a quite imperfect understanding of how to exploit the language.
