Dear Dr. Husband

I am writing on behalf of Walter O’Brien, of Rosshaven, Tingarren, Callan, Co Kilkenny, who is currently applying for a place in your undergraduate programme in Computer Science. I have known Walter in my capacity as the coordinator of the Irish site of the International Computer Problem Solving Contest (ICPSC) run by the University of Wisconsin. The contest is held annually on the last Saturday in April and involves teams from about 20 countries. Walter has competed in the most popular division of the contest (Senior Basic - Under 19) for the past 2 years. He and his 2 team-mates achieved 1st place in the Irish Contest this year. They solved 4 of the 5 problems in two hours including a good attempt at the 5th problem. (Copy of problems enclosed). Only 5 teams out of all countries participating solved 5 problems.

I have found Walter to be a pleasant, intelligent and mature young man with a great flair for computing. I am sure he is well capable of outstanding performance in your programme.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Sean Close
(Lecturer in Mathematical Education)
