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.

Web Programming: From HTML to AJAXWeb Programming: From HTML to AJAX By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 3139 The Internet is an unavoidable component of today’s life, and will only become more and more important in the future. In this article, we”ll have an overview of its development in terms of coding languages. This article explains how webpages actually work. In particular, we’ll discuss HTML, CSS, PHP, WordPress, MySQL, Javascript, XML and JSON, as well as their competitors.
Model-Dependent RealismModel-Dependent Realism By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 3044 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.
Type Theory: A Modern Computable Paradigm for MathType Theory: A Modern Computable Paradigm for Math By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 8519 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!
Shannon’s Information TheoryShannon’s Information Theory By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 25331 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.
Hypothesis Test with Statistics: Get it Right!Hypothesis Test with Statistics: Get it Right! By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 3739 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!
Fourier Analysis: Signals and FrequenciesFourier Analysis: Signals and Frequencies By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 5807 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.
The Secretary/Toilet Problem and Online OptimizationThe Secretary/Toilet Problem and Online Optimization By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 2449 A large chunk of applied mathematics has focused on optimizing something with respect to all relevant data. However, in practice, especially in the online world, the data is not available to us, and, yet, we’re still expected to make nearly optimal decisions. This problem is exemplified by the famous secretary problem, where a manager needs to decide to hire candidates right after interviews, even though he has not yet met all the candidates. In this article, we review this classic as well as many very recent developments.
