This book provides a very elementary introduction to K-theory for C*-algebras, and is ideal for beginning graduate students.

K-theory is often considered a complicated mathematical theory for specialists only. This book is an accessible introduction to the basics and provides detailed

Informally, $K$-theory is a tool for probing the structure of a mathematical object such as a ring or a topological space in terms of suitably parameterized vec

K -Theory has revolutionized the study of operator algebras in the last few years. As the primary component of the subject of "noncommutative topol ogy," K -the

The subject of C*-algebras received a dramatic revitalization in the 1970s by the introduction of topological methods through the work of Brown, Douglas, and Fi
