Stone–Čech compactification: History, Applications & Products

An important problem in topology is how to enlarge a space by adding points so that certain kinds of limits exist. The Stone–Čech compactification of a space provides the most extensive such enlargement: it adds enough points to ensure the existence of all generalized limits, including those detected by nets or ultrafilters rather than ordinary…
