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.

From Divide and Conquer to ParallelizationFrom Divide and Conquer to Parallelization By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 1544 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.
Model-Dependent RealismModel-Dependent Realism By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 3415 Introduced by the two renowned theoretical physicists Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinov in their book The Grand Design in 2010, model-dependent realism is a new controversial understanding of the universe. Based on solid logical reasonings and recent developments in physics, this concept may well be an incredible breakthrough for philosophy and science, as well as metaphysics.
Numbers and ConstructibilityNumbers and Constructibility By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 5917 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!
Hypothesis Test with Statistics: Get it Right!Hypothesis Test with Statistics: Get it Right! By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 3972 Statistician Johnson recently claimed that up to 25% of published scientific experimental results were just wrong! To see why, let’s get to the bottom of the scientific method! And it’s probably more complicated than you think. In this article, we apply it rigorously to “prove” $\pi=3$. This will highlight the actually mechanism of the scientific method, its limits, and how much messages of experiments are often deformed!
Colours and DimensionsColours and Dimensions By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 2462 You’ve probably learned early on that there are three primary colours. But why three? And why these three? Surprisingly, the answer lies in the beautiful mathematics of linear algebra and (high) dimension spaces!
Dynamics, Chaos, Fractals (pt 2)Dynamics, Chaos, Fractals (pt 2) By Scott McKinney | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 1514 Dynamical systems such as a system of 3 planetary bodies can exhibit surprisingly complicated behavior. If the initial state of the system is slightly varied, the resulting system behaves in a radically different manner. This “sensitivity to initial conditions” is a key element of what’s become (perhaps disproportionately) well-known as chaos. Using the mathematical notion of iterative systems, we can model such systems and understand how chaos arises out of deceptively simple foundations.
Cryptography and Quantum PhysicsCryptography and Quantum Physics By Scott McKinney | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 2081 Recent discoveries in the branch of physics known as quantum mechanics have powerful applications in the field of network security – they have the potential to break forms of internet security based on mathematics such as the RSA algorithm, and also present new ways to safely send information. In this article we’ll see how a physics-based method can be used to secure online information.
