The surface in above image is a portion of the graph of
some mathematical equation.

Let's do some brainstorming:
Can you guess what's inside the surface?
.

 

Looks like a silicon etching gone bad.

 

Do mathematical equations have any content other than abstract thoughts?

 

The identical question has been posted on at least four other forums by benice. No answers. Here is one innovative solution by a stumped student:

HILLLLLARIOUS!!!

P.S. I just found out that I cannot write a single word capitalized. It formats is automatically. Unless I re-edit it and re-capitalize it. Huh...

 

Can't do double spaces either. If you want to create columns you have to make characters white to make them mostly invisible.

 

Too funny, my kids would have done something like that when they were little. I'm so glad they are all grown and gone so I dont have to endure their little bump in the road of life. Not saying they arent still doing the dumb stuff, they just arent including dad or his checkbook fixing it any mor. When we were little Alex Bells new toy was still rotary and party line. Gosh I am getting old. Sheesh

. Gosh I am getting old.

Use of the word "Gosh" is all the proof we need.

Consider the intersection of a horizontal plane with the surface.

The intersection consists of a family of funny curves.
(An example curve is shown below.)

Cut off the upper surface above the horizontal plane
to get a funny 3D image.

(Note:This curve is obtained from another surface.)

Examples of funny content

Monkey Face

Running Tree

 

You must be really math-crazed to see a monkey and a tree in those pictures. Have you ever taken a Rorschach test?

 

That's OK, I see two ladies with their heads out of the frame standing on pedestals. Guess that makes me sex crazed.

I see them too, but they look like aliens.

Or a cult ritual leader...

The above graphics were created completely using math formulas and math softwares.

 

Well, that one I definitely see tribal heads from totem poles.

Next image, doc?
