👉 In mathematics, a hyperelliptic curve is a type of algebraic curve that has an elliptic point at infinity. It is a special case of the class of hyperelliptic curves, which are also known as "elliptic curves" or "hyperelliptic curves." These curves have many interesting properties and can be used in various fields such as number theory, geometry, and cryptography. In general, a hyperelliptic curve is defined by an equation of the form
