The point 0,0,0 on the monkey saddle corresponds to a critical point mathematics degenerate critical point of the function z x , y at 0, 0 . The monkey saddle has an isolated umbilic point with zero Gaussian curvature at the origin, while the curvature is strictly negative at all other points. To see that the monkey saddle has three depressions, let us write the equation for z using complex number s as math z x,y operatorname Re x iy 3. math It follows that z tx , ty t z x , y for t 0, so the surface is determined by z on the unit circle . Parametrizing this by e sup i sup , with 0, 2 , we see that on the unit circle, z cos 3 , so z has three depressions. Replacing 3 with any integer k 1 we can create a saddle with k depressions.
