Compactifications
Can anyone help with intuition or references
that might impart some intuition about the
Stone-Cech compactification? (Sorry about the
lack of diacritical marks.) I have both the
embedding and filter descriptions and can even
manipulate the symbols enough to construct
proofs, but have almost no idea of just what
I'm dealing with. The Alexandroff compactification
is fairly straightforward and doesn't tax my
imagination too much to "see it topologically",
but this does.
