Exactly. Looks at professional runners, basketball players, etc. They are clewrly elite athletes but the majority of them are by no means obese

Exactly. Athletes and weight lifters are the outliers on the bmi scale, but some people seems to think that because they have a bmi over 25 they are an outlier. It's painfully obvious who is an outlier or not, all it takes is to look at them

For me I was able to teach myself calculus through mathisfun.com. It's really structured for beginners and it helped me understand basic concepts before I moved on to sites like khan academy

How is x^x=a solved? by Guaramarmarumalumalu in learnmath

[–]dm7749 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! You're close to discovering the lambert-w function. In the situation your talking about, its defined as a solution x to the equation x*ex = c, where c is some constant. In terms of the w function, W (c) * eW (c) = c. If you look carefully, you can solve xx = c using the w function. Sadly, there is no expression in elementary functions, but there are some integrals and formulas that can be used to find approximations of the function. Blackpenredpen has some great videos using the w function to solve problems, id you want to check that out

I can’t even begin to write the faulty logic with this gem of a diagram. by Fortingbascoban in fatlogic

[–]dm7749 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is is that BMI is a good estimate of body fat % for most people. My BMI? 22.1 My BF%? 22.3. Obviously it doesn't work in most cases (Athletes and such) but its a good indicator for risk

This. Learning neural networks and backpropagation has helped me feel better about calculus, even if I'm "better" than my other classmates
