The Triangle of Power The Triangle of Power
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-10 | Views: 1207
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!

Numbers and Constructibility Numbers and Constructibility
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 5031
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!

Model-Dependent Realism Model-Dependent Realism
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 3032
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.

Topology: from the Basics to Connectedness Topology: from the Basics to Connectedness
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 4291
Topology was my favorite course in pure maths. I love it because it’s a powerful abstract theory to describe intuitive and visual ideas about space. This article gives you an introduction to this amazing field. We’ll introduce graph topology, metric spaces, continuity and connectedness.

Probabilistic Algorithms, Probably Better Probabilistic Algorithms, Probably Better
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-02 | Views: 1338
Probabilities have been proven to be a great tool to understand some features of the world, such as what can happen in a dice game. Applied to programming, it has enabled plenty of amazing algorithms. In this article, we discuss its application to the primality test as well as to face detection. We’ll also deal with quantum computers, as well as fundamental computer science open problems P=BPP and NP=BQP.

High Dynamic Range and Tone Mapping High Dynamic Range and Tone Mapping
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 2179
Our eyes are amazing! Even today’s cameras are nowhere near competing with them. However, the recent development of high dynamic range (HDR) and tone mapping technologies creates new possibilities to get images nearly as awesome as what our eyes really see!

Homotopy Type Theory and Higher Inductive Types Homotopy Type Theory and Higher Inductive Types
By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 2133
In this article, we explore the possibilities allowed by higher inductive types. They enable a much more intuitive formalization of integers and new mind-blowing definitions of the (homotopical) circle and sphere.

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: 12608
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!
