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.
I now run a Robustly Beneficial wiki, mostly on AI ethics, which has come to fascinate me!
The Triangle of PowerThe Triangle of Power By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-10 | Views: 11777 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!
Pluto is NOT (not?) a PlanetPluto is NOT (not?) a Planet By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 3557 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 Amazing Physics of Water in TreesThe Amazing Physics of Water in Trees By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2016-01 | Views: 66089 As explained by Derek Muller on Veritasium, the flow of water in trees involves complex physical phenomena including pressure, osmosis, negative pressure, capillarity and evapotranspiration. What seems simple will blow your mind!
The Limitless Vertigo of Cantor's InfiniteThe Limitless Vertigo of Cantor's Infinite By Lê Nguyên Hoang | Updated:2015-12 | Views: 4138 No one believed him. Not even fellow mathematicians. They thought he was wrong. They thought he was crazy. Even he ended up doubting himself and went crazy. And yet, he had mathematically proved it all. Georg Cantor had figured out how to manipulate the infinite. Even more remarkable, he showed that there were actually several infinities; and some are bigger than others!
