I am study public key cryptology and interested in elliptic curve cryplogical algorithms. I have some problem about elliptic curve equation. First I can't find inter process and transformation steps from general curve equation to elliptic curve equation weierstrass form, Second , why a1 and a3 scaler is left side, a2,a4,a6 scaler is right side of y^2+a1xy+a3y=x^3+a2x^2+a4x+a6 equation .

Thank you in advance

    In OP's defence I will say that it is not easy to find a source, where the required change of coordinates is done with elementary tools only. I've only seen it in lecture notes by a local number theorist. When I was interested in these things, Menezes' book *Elliptic Curve Public Key Cryptosystems* was a standard reference to cryptopeople. Menezes refers to Silverman at this point, and Silverman (for his very good reasons) does this the standard way of using Riemann-Roch to study the set of functions with a single pole of order at most 6.2011-07-06
