>I think the height and weight is about nutrition and proper developmental health
if the weight is in healthy BMI range, in the case of doing analysis the BMI or "BMI relative to optimum" would be a decent feature.
>if you're tall you are more likely to have been properly fed
this is not a deal in western nations as starvation does not exist, there are no prolonged hunger periods anymore, i dont think that "properly fed" is a good classification i would instead go for something like "nutrition/quality of nutrition"
more discrete: healthy and balanced diet VS McDicks as possible extrema, as undernourishment is not such an issue as poor eating habits.
i would also wager that at a certain point caloric intake becomes negatively correlated with academic performance, without bothering to pull articles out of my ass.
>if you're fat you are less able to control
a hen-egg problem, what is first; the fatty or his poor impulse control
i would go with the latter.
this quite popular experiment should be related to significance of impulse control.

>which correlates with self control and intelligence
well you are using a bit of circular logic in the last two lines, even if i would agree with the overall sentiment.
the important fact in my opinion is impulse control and perhaps an amount of self reflection that is seemingly exclusive to more gifted individuals.
i see the fatness more as a manifestation of poor habit, discipline etc. (which obv. has adverse effects on other parts of life).
perhaps its even fair to go as far to say that fatness is a physiognomic manifestation of inferior mind and also unfavourable genetic predisposition.

fatties being repulsive rationalized and that on christmas!
crazy times.

Numbers are not important, it's the relations between them that matters.
Without relations, numbers are nothing.

no, carbohydrates are sugar in different forms, all at some point get metabolized to the same split product in your body
its required for you to function

Physicists think they're better cause their work is more ""useful"". They think just because something works, then it's right, and have no ability to prove that it is right.

Alright gents let's have a look at what REU's we're going to, I'll start off:

also im looking for the train dilemma with the 1+2+3 people bunched up and then the -1/12 meme, anyone have that?

in addition to that, i'm look for the one with the same riemann zeta function continuation meme with someone asking whats practical in math, with someone answering with "someone in the street gives you 1 dollar and says they'll give u an extra dollar on top of that value the next day, and so on. a mathematician would know what he is trying to do - steal -1/12 dollars from you. theres a real life application"

What is 2? Is it the 2 in N or the 2 in Z or the 2 in Q or the 2 in R or the 2 in C or the 2 in H or the 2 in O or the 2 in {0,1,2}?

This is still my favorite.

How do you prove that absolute value of the complex number z is not analytic?

This is the only consistently good comic that (occasionally) deals with science and math.

i need to find some science web comic, please /sci/

Fuck off you half-assed academic detritus.

What makes a good storyteller? There must be something differentiating someone who really captivates you, and someone who bores you.

I find your lack of copypasta disturbing

You're not asking for science. You're asking for math.
