"From my reading of the book, Matloff achieves his goals, and in doing so he has provided a volume that will be immensely useful to a very wide audience. I can see it being used as a reference by data analysts, statisticians, engineers, econometricians, biometricians, etc. This would apply to both established researchers and graduate students. This book provides exactly the sort of information that this audience is looking for, and it is presented in a very accessible and friendly manner."

"The author has correctly recognized that there is a pressing need for a thorough, but readable guide to parallel computing—one that can be used by researchers and students in a wide range of disciplines. In my view, this book will meet that need. … For me and colleagues in my field, I would see this as a ‘must-have’ reference book—one that would be well thumbed!"

"This is a book that I will use, both as a reference and for instruction. The examples are poignant and the presentation moves the reader directly from concept to working code."

"Matloff’s Parallel Computing for Data Science: With Examples in R, C++ and CUDA can be recommended to colleagues and students alike, and the author is to be congratulated for taming a difficult and exhaustive body of topics via a very accessible primer."
