The author presents a detailed study describing how parallel computation can be applied to a collection of numerical problems. He considers LU decomposition of dense matrices, the fast Fourier transform (FFT), multiplication of a sparse matrix by a dense vector, as well as matching vertices in a sparse graph and sorting. He uses these to teach design and implementation of well-structured efficient parallel algorithms...The book is best suited for a graduate course in parallel scientific processing for mathematics or computer science students. * Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews *
