Polygonizing implicit surfaces with guaranteed topology

The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of BARTON TALBOT STANDER nd it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. Special thanks to my advisor, John Hart, for his invaluable assistance, to my parents for their nancial support, and to my wife and kids for their patience.
