le-nguyen.hoang Lê Nguyên Hoang

Je suis en thèse à Polytechnique Montréal en mathématiques appliquées, après avoir étudié à l'École Polytechnique à Palaiseau.
Je travaille sur des problèmes de conception d'horaires personnalisés, de modélisation des préférences et de conception de mécanismes.
J'ai lancé www.Science4All.org, un site d'articles de vulgarisation scientifique de qualité, auquel tout candidat ou diplômé d'un Master ou doctorat peut contribuer.

    Univalent Foundations of Mathematics - S4A

    A consortium of today's greatest mathematicians have laid out new foundations. They all lie upon one single axiom, called univalence. With univalence, our Arabic numbers aren't just like natural numbers; They are natural numbers. Univalence also has unforeseen and mesmerizing consequences.

    Homotopy Type Theory and Higher Inductive Types

    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 Tortuous Geometry of the Flat Torus - S4A

    Take a square sheet of paper. Can you glue opposite sides without ever folding the paper? This is a conundrum that many couldn't figure out. While John Nash did answer yes, he couldn't say how. Finally in 2012, Borrelli and his collaborators finally made it! And it is spectacularly beautiful!

    The Thrilling Physics of Resonance - S4A

    From the destruction of bridges and buildings to the foundations of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics, through their uses by radios or our ears,resonance is a counter-intuitive underlying phenomenon which shapes our reality. But amazingly, they can be made visual by playing with head massagers!

    The New Big Fish Called Mean-Field Game Theory

    In recent years, at the interface of game theory, control theory and statistical mechanics, a new baby of applied mathematics was given birth. Now named mean-field game theory, this new model represents a new active field of research with a huge range of applications! This is maths in the making!

    Pluto is NOT (not?) a Planet - S4A

    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 Most Troubling Experiments on Human Behavior

    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.
