Abstract

This thesis covers topics in continuum theory related to indecomposable continua and chainable continua. Theorems are presented to characterize indecomposable continua and then chainability is explored in its connection to inverse limit spaces. The end result is to provide an example of an hereditarily indecomposable continuum.
