Uniformizer of an elliptic curve at infinity

208 Views Asked by At

I have read in a solution to a problem that I was studying that $t = \frac{x}{y}$ is a uniformizer at the point $(0,1,0)$ of the curve given by $y^2z=x^3+axz^2+bz^3$, and that one can expand $x=t^{-2}+...$ and $y=t^{-3}+...$. I am not sure how one gets this and was hoping someone could clarify?
