If you're really a math nutter, then take a look at the math as well. It's actually not that complicated. The complication here is just turning the formula into something that can be dealt with by OpenScad. In particular, making sure the thing turns out to be 2-manifold, so that you can actually generate .stl files and print the results, therein lies the rub.
The supershape.scad files contains two rotines of interest:
