Potato Chip Hyperbolic Paraboloid
z = x²/a² − y²/b²; x²/a² + y²/b² < 1 The consistent saddle shape is mathematically known as a hyperbolic paraboloid. [9] Their designers reportedly used supercomputers to ensure that the chips' aerodynamics would keep them in place during packaging and that they would not break when being stacked on top of each other. [10][11]
A mathematical saddle-shaped surface is shown beside a curved potato chip, followed by a serious-looking explanation of the chip’s hyperbolic paraboloid shape. The joke is that an ordinary snack is humorously presented as the result of advanced mathematical engineering and supercomputer design.
