We demonstrate fast algorithm to resolve local singularities of algebraic curves. The algorithm is based on the monomial transform and is independent of any other coordinate change. Two new invariants are introduced to gauge the singularities and sharply control the number of algorithmic steps. Our algorithm is applicable to both real and complex domains.
