    How can you have a "tangent" to a "curve" when everything is over a discrete field?

    I don't believe most of the explanations of elliptic curve cryptography

        Youtube videos on how this work, fall into two types...

        1. those that get the curve addition correct but handwave the point at infinity.

        2. those that get the curve addition wrong
