Meet the Vietnamese Maths talents for a while

Of the 30 scientists and graduate students who helped organize the 48th International Mathematics Competition (IMO), there were 7X and 8X generation Mathematicians who won gold, silver and bronze medals.

Le Anh Vinh, 24, is working as a Doctor of Mathematics at Harvard University, USA. In 2001, he won the 2001 IMO Silver Prize and received a scholarship from the Government of Vietnam and Australia at New South Wales University.

Vinh was then awarded a PhD at Harvard University. Every year, Harvard receives only 10 students to work on a doctoral thesis and Vinh is the only Vietnamese that year has this honor.

Dao Thi Thu Ha, 26, and Tran Minh Anh, 28, really impressed the talkers by being young and active. Thu Ha studied high school specialties under the University of Natural Sciences (Hanoi National University) and attended two years of a talented bachelor system of this school. Then Ha went to France to study at Ecole Polytechnique University, then did a master's thesis and was working on a doctoral thesis.

When she came to France, Ha met Minh Anh, and had a course before her. After 4 years of studying together, they were married. Having been married for two years, the couple has no plans to have a baby yet and plan to " make " two doctoral degrees and then two postdoctoral degrees at Stanford University (USA).

Ha Huy Tai, the 30th IMO participant in China and the 31st in Sweden, after the silver medal, Tai was admitted to Curtin University of Technology (Australia). After finishing college, he worked as a research student at Queen's University (Canada). Completing his doctorate, he returned home and worked at the Math Institute. From 2001 to 2004, he went to the United States to work as a postdoctoral thesis at the University of Missouri - Columbia. Currently, he is still in the payroll of the Institute of Mathematics and at the same time teaching at Tulane University (USA).

Tai affirmed that we have many potentials for Mathematics, which can be seen in the results of Vietnam in international bouts. Countries highly appreciate teaching mathematics to high school students in Vietnam. The study of mathematics in Vietnam is also highly appreciated in developed countries and known to the world.

Tai said, in terms of input, Vietnamese students are very well prepared in part because they have to compete in a very difficult university exam. But students in developed countries are more aware of studying and studying than students in Vietnam because they have to pay huge fees for universities, mostly private schools.

Moreover, our schools only check once a semester while your country continuously checks with big assignments that require students to study. That is what makes the difference between the ability of studying and studying at home and abroad.

In order to attract students and scientists back to the donor country, he says, it is not difficult because, for those who do science, it is important to have good facilities for scientific research. . According to Huy Tai, the basic sciences will have a great impact on the country's economy.
