Abstract
In this paper we derive those properties of topologically embedded curves and surfaces in E3 which can be obtained without use of Bing's Side Approximation Theorem [3] for surfaces. The local homology and homotopy properties studied classically play the largest role in the paper, but the final geometrization of some of the results requires theorems such as the PL Schoenflies Theorem, Dehn's Lemma, the Loop Theorem, the Sphere Theorem, and Waldhausen's generalization of the Loop Theorem (n.b., one application of Waldhausen's theorem (in (3.4)) requires use of the nontrivial normal subgroup in the statement of that theorem).
