Abstract
The first chapter introduced the category of topological spaces and continuous maps. This chapter will describe constructions that allow us to create new topological spaces. Knowing the points and open sets of the new spaces is often less important. Much more important is to understand how the new spaces are related to the old ones, i.e., which continuous maps exist into the new spaces or out of them.
