Topology may be considered as an abstract study of the limit point concept. As such, it stems in part from recognition of the fact that many important mathematical topics depend entirely upon the properties of limit points. This study shows that compactness implies limit point compactness but not conversely and every compact space is locally compact but not conversely. This study also shows that compactness, limit point compactness and sequentially compactness are equivalent in metrizable spaces and the product of finitely many compact spaces is a locally compact space. This study introduce it here as an interesting application of the Tychonoff theorem.
