Owen Coss, NC State, Resolving Singularities by the Blowup Process in R^2
SAS 4201In this talk I will introduce the ideas of singularities of a polynomial and resolution of those singularities, and then develop the blowup process algorithm. For a polynomial f, a point is singular if f and all its first partials vanish at that point. A resolution of the singularities of f gives a non-singular polynomial…
