Abstract
This is a continuation of [2]. We study the Tychonoff Compactness Theorem for various definitions of compactness and for various types of spaces (first and second countable spaces, Hausdorff spaces, and subspaces of โ^K^). We also study well ordered Tychonoff products and the effect that the multiple choice axiom has on such products.

## Abstract We study conditions for a topological space to be metrizable, properties of metrizable spaces, and the role the axiom of choice plays in these matters.
We show that for every well ordered cardinal number m the Tychonoff product 2 m is a compact space without the use of any choice but in Cohen's Second Model 2 R is not compact.
