[For the entire collection see Zbl 0723.00022.] The author makes a brief historical note on desingularization: there is an interesting survey of the techniques of \textit{Zariski}, \textit{Abhyankar} and \textit{Hironaka} and a clear summary of the classical proofs of desingularization in dimension 1 and 2. At the end, there is an announcement of a resolution theorem of dimension 3 singularities of the equation: \(T^ p-f(x_ 1,x_ 2,x_ 3)\) where \(p\) is the characteristic. The author gives some hints about this proof: there are 60 different cases which are controlled with numerical characters built with Newton polyhedras. Unfortunately, the author did not quote the last results of \textit{E. Bierstone} and \textit{P. D. Milman} [cf. Effective methods in algebraic geometry, Proc. Symp., Castiglioncello 1990, Prog. Math. 94, 11-30 (1991; Zbl 0743.14012) and J. Am. Math. Soc. 2, No. 4, 801-836 (1989; Zbl 0685.32007), of the reviewer in Géométrie algébrique et applications, C. R. 2. Conf. int., La Rabida 1984, Vol. I: Géométrie et calcul algébrique, Trav. Cours 22, 1-21 (1987; Zbl 0621.14015)] and of \textit{O. Villamayor} [``Patching local uniformizations'', Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér., IV. Sér. 25 (1992)].
