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.

Poincaré Conjecture and HomotopyPoincaré Conjecture and Homotopy By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 6787 Poincaré conjecture is the most recent major proven theorem. Posited a century ago by Henri Poincaré, this major conjecture of topology was solved by Gregori Perelman. It has revolutionized our understanding of space and raised intriguing questions regarding the global structure of our Universe.
Computing Hunger worldwide: the Global Hunger Index (GHI)Computing Hunger worldwide: the Global Hunger Index (GHI) By Estève Giraud | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 547 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.
Cryptography and Quantum PhysicsCryptography and Quantum Physics By Scott McKinney | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 2193 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.
Euler’s Formula and the Utilities ProblemEuler’s Formula and the Utilities Problem By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 11373 I was a kid when I was first introduced to the deceptively simple utilities problem. It’s only lately that I’ve discovered its solution! And it’s an amazing one! Indeed, it provides a wonderful insight into some fundamental mathematics, including Euler’s formula! This is nothing less than the gateway to the wonderful world of algebraic topology!
Space Deformation and Group RepresentationSpace Deformation and Group Representation By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 2252 All along the 20th century, pure algebraists have dug deep into the fundamental structures of mathematics. In this extremely abstract effort, they were greatly help by the possibility of representing these structures by space deformations, which could then be understood much better. This has led to breakthroughs, including the proof of Fermat’s las theorem. This article introduces the ideas of group representations.
Imaginary and Complex NumbersImaginary and Complex Numbers By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 5763 My first reaction to imaginary numbers was… What the hell is that? Even now, I have trouble getting my head around these mathematical objects. Fortunately, I have a secret weapon: Geometry! This article proposes constructing complex numbers with a very geometrical and intuitive approach, which is probably very different from what you’ve learned (or will learn).
