Elliptic curve (equation)
Description
In mathematics, an elliptic curve (EC) is a smooth, projective algebraic curve of genus one, on which there is a specified point.Any elliptic curve can be written as a plane algebraic curve defined by an equation, which is non-singular; that is, its graph has no cusps or self-intersections.
