With significant contributions of Prof. Hoang Tuy, the Prime Minister said Prof. Hoang Tuy is the outstanding mathematician of Vietnam and set an example for the next generation. Prof. Hoang Tuy along with Prof. Le Van Thiem have been the cornerstone of Vietnam mathematics study. Prof. Hoang Tuy has been one of the first to establish the Vietnam mathematics study and taking Vietnamese students to participate in International Mathematics Olympiads. In 1964, Prof. Hoang Tuy invented the Tuy’s cut, which opened a new branch of applied mathematics being the global optimization.
The Prime Minister shared that in any era of Vietnam there are many talents, for which he has strong belief that with the intelligent nature, determination and the pride of nation, Vietnam will have more scientists making the country proud such as Prof. Hoang Tuy.

The Prime Minister also requested scientists both in Vietnam and abroad to have more research on applied mathematics, which is necessary for Vietnam’s economic development. Especially in technology application, boosting productivity, quality and efficiency of the economy, as well as the living standard of the people.
Also at the same day, the Prime Minister had had a meeting with the Institute of Mathematics. At the meeting, the former Head of Institute of Mathematics Prof. Hoang Tuy thanked the Prime Minister for his care for the development of Vietnam’s mathematics. In the context of fierce global competition, if the government do not have policies to facilitate the development of sciences, Vietnam will be left behind in the quest for development.
The Prime Minister agreed with Prof. Hoang Tuy’s recommendations, as sciences and technologies have to be integrated and competed with other countries, especially in the region. As such, it will be a strong motivation for some important aspects, such as mathematics to develop and flourish.
Mr. Phuc also suggested the Institute of Mathematics to research new model of development in the direction of efficiency and integration. With this being said, the research study should be aimed with real world applications, especially for applied mathematics and the development of some aspects in Vietnam.
