Welcome to Science4All
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.

Optimization by Integer Programming
Optimization by Integer Programming
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Prerequisites: Optimization by Linear Programming | Views: 6746
Integer programming is arguably the greatest achievement of applied mathematics. Half of the time, it’s what’s used to solve real-world problems!

Shannon’s Information Theory Shannon’s Information Theory
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 38701
Claude Shannon may be considered one of the most influential person of the 20th Century, as he laid out the foundation of the revolutionary information theory. Yet, unfortunately, he is virtually unknown to the public. This article is a tribute to him. And the best way I’ve found is to explain some of the brilliant ideas he had.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 22132
The second law of thermodynamics is my favorite law in physics, mainly because of the troubling puzzles it raises! Indeed, what your professors may have forgotten to tell you is that this law connects today’s world to its first instant, the Big Bang! Find out why!

The Revolutionary Galois Theory The Revolutionary Galois Theory
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Prerequisites: Linear Algebra and Higher Dimensions, Imaginary and Complex Numbers, Symmetries and Group Theory | Views: 15847
In 1832, Évariste Galois died. He was 20. The night before his death, he wrote a legendary letter to his friend, in which he claims to have found a mathematical treasure! Sadly, this treasure had long been buried in total indifference! It took nearly a century to rediscover it! Since then, Galois’ legacy has become some of the finest pure mathematics, which represents a hugely active field of research today with crucial applications to cryptography. Galois’ work is now known as Galois theory. In essence, it unveils the hidden symmetries of numbers!

Computing Hunger worldwide: the Global Hunger Index (GHI)
By Estève Giraud | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 540
The Global Hunger Index was first published in 2006 by the International Food Policy Research Institute and the NGO Welthungerhilfe. In 2007, Concern worldwide joined them. Since then, the Index reports every year the evolution of the hunger situation worldwide and focus on a given topic. How is it calculated? And what is hunger? How are we connected ? What can be done? To learn more, read the article below.

Beauty, the Driving Force of our Quest for Truth Beauty, the Driving Force of our Quest for Truth
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 1313
According to Matthew Colless, the most important aspect of science is beauty. Not only is it what inspires scientists and their quests, I’d even claim that it’s also the compass that guide them in their quests, in a deeper and more surprising way that one can imagine!

From Divide and Conquer to Parallelization From Divide and Conquer to Parallelization
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 1558
Divide and conquer is a extremely powerful concept that is being used a lot in computer science, and that can also be applied in real life. We present its application to sorting algorithms. Then we’ll talk about a major fundamental open mathematical problem, called P=NC.

The Triangle of Power The Triangle of Power
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-10 | Views: 4875
Notations do not matter to the essence of mathematics. But poor notations can be misleading. Notations based on exponents, radicals and logarithms definitely are. They are very distinct, even though they are supposed to describe very similar relations between numbers. The triangle of power is a recently proposed alternative. In short, I am convinced!

Colors: It’s not just about Wavelengths! Colors: It’s not just about Wavelengths!

Colours… What are they really? Are there the same for all of us? And for other animals? How does color addition or subtraction work? How do they work on computers? And on printers? The mysterious (but not dark) world of colors is actually very colourful!
