👉 The term "epitympanum" is a mathematical concept related to the study of elliptic curves. It was introduced by John Milne in 1965 and has since become an important tool for understanding the geometry and topology of elliptic curves, as well as its applications in cryptography and number theory. In mathematics, an "epitympanum" is a special kind of curve defined over a finite field. The key property that distinguishes an epitympanum
