Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this reference at the request of Alex Smith, who is applying for a
Master program in your university. I have known Alex for two years as his
scientific adviser and mentor.
During this time Alex Smith, has showed himself as a promising young specialist
and researcher. His major specialization is Applied Mathematics and Computer
Science, but as an exception for academic achievements, Alex was allowed by our
faculty to write his projects and degree thesis in the field of Cryptography under
Computer Security and Applied Algebra Department.
As his mentor I have had an opportunity to observe the student's participation and
overall progress. I would rate the student's overall performance as excellent,
because he has got only excellent marks and has achieved marked results in
different academic and student fields.
Alex’s 3rd year joint project “About effective elliptic curve discrete logarithm
problem solution” contained interesting ideas and solutions of problems arising in
Galua field arithmetic. While publication of student works is an unusual matter and
is exclusive, a revised variant of his work is now in process of publication in
XXXX State Technical University’s scientific journal. Alex is broad-minded and
has interests in different areas of mathematics and computer science. He has an
unusual thinking style and ability to combine methods and ideas from different
disciplines.
I evaluate Alex Smith as intelligent, dependable, dedicated person, who is ready to
achieve his goals. I am positive, that Alex would be a tremendous asset to your
program and I highly recommend him to you without reservation. If you have any
further questions with regard to her background or qualifications, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Associate Professor Peter Johnson
