Abstract
We provide a procedure for resolving, in characteristic 0, singularities of a variety embedded in a smooth variety by repeatedly blowing up the worst singularities, in the sense of stack-theoretic weighted blowings up. No history, no exceptional divisors, and no logarithmic structures are necessary to carry this out; the steps are explicit geometric operations requiring no choices; and the resulting algorithm is efficient. A similar result was discovered independently by McQuillan in a manuscript posted on this archive simultaneously.
