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.

Colors: It’s not just about Wavelengths!Colors: It’s not just about Wavelengths! By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 2845 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!
Pluto is NOT (not?) a PlanetPluto is NOT (not?) a Planet By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 1995 In 2006, Pluto was officially demoted from its planetary status. When we dig a little bit, this isn’t much of the surprise. What’s more interesting is rather why it ever was regarded as a planet, as the History of Pluto highlights a magic enterprise that science is!
The Essence of Quantum MechanicsThe Essence of Quantum Mechanics By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 8143 Quantum mechanics is the most accurate and tested scientific theory, Its applications to real life are countless, as all new technologies are based on its principles. Yet, it’s also probably the most misunderstood theory, because it constantly contradicts common sense. This article presents the most important features of the theory.
The Most Troubling Experiments on Human BehaviorThe Most Troubling Experiments on Human Behavior By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 1726 We all intuitively think of ourselves as independent creatures with strong free will. However, many disturbing experiments about fashion, conformity, obedience, environment, choice and opinions have been troubling this idea we make of ourselves. These ought to be lessons of humility for all of us.
Construction and Definition of NumbersConstruction and Definition of Numbers By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 4707 Although they have been used for thousands of years, an actual definition of numbers was given less than a century ago! From the most fundamental level of set theory, this article takes you to the journey of the construction of natural, integer, rational, real and complex numbers.
Regulation of Electricity MarketsRegulation of Electricity Markets By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 1471 Electricity markets are not like any markets. In particular, they cannot be liberalized without regulation. In the article, I list the reasons why this market is specific and I conclude by giving you important features of a good regulation.
The Magic of AnalysisThe Magic of Analysis By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 1420 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.
Fourier Analysis: Signals and FrequenciesFourier Analysis: Signals and Frequencies By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 5751 Fourier analysis is a fundamental theory in mathematics with an impressive field of applications. From creating radio to hearing sounds, this concept is a translation between two mathematical worlds: Signals and Frequencies. Here is an introduction to the theory.
Type Theory: A Modern Computable Paradigm for MathType Theory: A Modern Computable Paradigm for Math By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 8446 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!
