our country’s struggle for independence. In 1951, he founded a teacher training college and a college
of fundamental sciences in Viet Bac with the aim of providing the country with qualified teachers and
technicians. After 1954, he was the first director of Viet Nam Institute of Mathematics, the first
headmaster of Ha Noi National University of Education, and Ha Noi University of Science. Together
with other mathematicians, such as Hoang Tuy, Ta Quang Buu, Professor Le Van Thiem founded
