Abstract
Algebraic geometry is the study of solutions in polynomial equations using objects and shapes. Differential geometry is based on surfaces, curves, and dimensions of shapes and applying calculus and algebra. Desingularizing the singularities of a variety plays an important role in research in algebraic and differential geometry. Toroidal Embedding is one of the tools used in desingularization. Therefore, Toroidal Embedding and desingularization will be the main focus of my project. In this paper, we first provide a brief introduction on Toroidal Embedding, then show an explicit construction on how to smooth a variety with singularity through Toroidal Embeddings.
