EC_GROUP_set_curve() sets the curve parameters I<p>, I<a> and I<b>. For a curve
over Fp I<p> is the prime for the field. For a curve over F2^m I<p> represents
the irreducible polynomial - each bit represents a term in the polynomial.
-Therefore there will either be three or five bits set dependent on whether the
+Therefore, there will either be three or five bits set dependent on whether the
polynomial is a trinomial or a pentanomial.
In either case, I<a> and I<b> represents the coefficients a and b from the
relevant equation introduced above.
