Tate normal form #
Reusable foundations for the Tate normal form
y² + (1-c)xy - by = x³ - bx²
with marked point P = (0,0). This file provides the normalization theorem retaining
the discriminant scale and kernel-checked low-multiple coordinate formulas. It does not
state an order classification theorem.

The marked origin is nonsingular whenever the Tate parameter b is nonzero.
If the tangent at the origin has triple contact, then the origin is killed by three. This is the small group-law fact used during Tate normalization.
Tate normalization retaining the discriminant and c₄ scaling
parameters.
The marked point P = (0,0) doubles to (b,bc) on Tate normal form.
The marked point P = (0,0) triples to (c,b-c) on Tate normal form.
In scalar-multiplication notation, 2P = (b,bc) for the marked Tate point.
In scalar-multiplication notation, 3P = (c,b-c) for the marked Tate point.
If also c ≠ 0, then 4P has the displayed rational coordinates.
