Transversality<br />

Assume H : x = 0 is an exceptional divisor in C 3 . We blow up the curve<br />

C : y = x + z 2 = 0.<br />

Step 1: Coordinate transformation making the curve into a line (x is<br />

replaced by x − z 2 ):<br />

H : x − z 2 = 0, C : y = x = 0.<br />

Step 2: First chart <strong>of</strong> blowup: x is replaced by xy.<br />

exceptional divisor becomes singular.<br />

Then the “old”<br />
