Talk:Imaginary hyperelliptic curve

Start with a definition, at least a rough one
The first section of this article isn't like most math articles on Wikipedia: usually they start with a definition, at least a rough one, and some context. John Baez (talk) 02:18, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

What is a imaginary hyperelliptic curve?
This is a nicely written article, but I just can't find the definition of imaginary hyperelliptic curve. When is a hyperelliptic curve imaginary, when is it not imaginary? Maybe I missed this somewhere, but I think this distinction should be included in the introduction. 62.203.25.82 (talk) 08:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
