Normal forms of characteristic ≠ 2 #
A WeierstrassCurve is in normal form of characteristic ≠ 2, if its $a_1, a_3 = 0$.
In other words it is $Y^2 = X^3 + a_2X^2 + a_4X + a_6$.
Instances
There is an explicit change of variables of a WeierstrassCurve to
a normal form of characteristic ≠ 2, provided that 2 is invertible in the ring.

Short normal form #
A WeierstrassCurve is in short normal form, if its $a_1, a_2, a_3 = 0$.
In other words it is $Y^2 = X^3 + a_4X + a_6$.
This is the normal form of characteristic ≠ 2 or 3, and also the normal form of characteristic = 3 and j = 0.
Instances
There is an explicit change of variables of a WeierstrassCurve to
a short normal form, provided that 2 and 3 are invertible in the ring.
It is the composition of an explicit change of variables with WeierstrassCurve.toCharNeTwoNF.
