This thesis is an investigation of the concept of paracompactness. It presents the history of paracompactness, analyzes this concept from several diverse points of view and tries to establish the relationship between these different views. The starting point is the work of Tukey [40]. The important problem of the metrization of topological spaces is presented as an application of the concept of paracompactness. / Master of Science
