My name is Lê and I believe that the greatest challenge in education is to make science and math appealing.
This is why I aim at bringing enthusiasm and excitement to the readers’ learning experience.
I now run a Robustly Beneficial wiki, mostly on AI ethics, which has come to fascinate me!
High Dynamic Range and Tone MappingHigh Dynamic Range and Tone Mapping By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 3933 Our eyes are amazing! Even today's cameras are nowhere near competing with them. However, the recent development of high dynamic range (HDR) and tone mapping technologies creates new possibilities to get images nearly as awesome as what our eyes really see!
Numbers and ConstructibilityNumbers and Constructibility By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 9352 Last summer, I got to discover Morellet's artwork on inclined grids. Amazingly, this artwork is a display of the irrationality of $\sqrt{2}$! It's also a strong argument for the existence of this number. In this article, after discussing that, I take readers further by discussing what numbers can be constructed geometrically, algebraically, analytically or set theoretically using the power of mathematics!
The Magic of AnalysisThe Magic of Analysis By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 1935 This article retraces the endless pursuit of the infinite that is at the basis of mathematical analysis. From the first approximations of pi to the shape of our limitless universe, from the essential usefulness of differential equations to the troubles with infinite sums, we present the great ideas of mathematical geniuses all along History.
The Massive Puzzles of GravityThe Massive Puzzles of Gravity By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 4271 This article follows the footsteps of the giants of physics that have moulded our current understanding of gravity. It is a series of brilliant inspirations, usually accompanied by deceiving misconceptions. After all, even today, gravity is still a slippery concept.
Type Theory: A Modern Computable Paradigm for MathType Theory: A Modern Computable Paradigm for Math By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 12886 In 2013, three dozens of today's brightest minds have just laid out new foundation of mathematics after a year of collective effort. This new paradigm better fits both informal and computationally-checkable mathematics. There is little doubt that it will fundamentally change our perspective on rigorous knowledge, and it could be that, in a few decades, the book they published turns out to be the bedrock of all mathematics, and, by extension, all human knowledge! Have a primer of this upcoming revolution, with this article on type theory, the theory that the book builds upon!
The New Big Fish Called Mean-Field Game TheoryThe New Big Fish Called Mean-Field Game Theory By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 18274 In recent years, at the interface of game theory, control theory and statistical mechanics, a new baby of applied mathematics was given birth. Now named mean-field game theory, this new model represents a new active field of research with a huge range of applications! This is mathematics in the making!
Does God play dice?Does God play dice? By Arthur Marronnier | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 1725 For Albert Einstein, the answer is no. But what did he mean? Has the greatest theoretical physicist of all time really missed the bandwagon of quantum physics? What are the real issues of the controversy that has opposed him to the Copenhagen School (Bohr, Heisenberg ...)? Back to the physics of the early twentieth century, its history, philosophy and ideas.
