Product Details

Product Description

Review

'no details are left out in the presentation, and many instructive and generously hinted exercises are provided' L'Enseignement Mathematique, 3-4 1993

`... it is written in a very lively and user friendly style... Altogether I think this book is very recommendable as a first introduction to the subject.' Monatshefte fur Mathematik, 3 April 1995

Product Description

K-theory is often considered a complicated `specialist's' theory. This book is an introduction to the basics and provides detailed explanation of the various concepts required for a deeper understanding of the subject. Some familiarity with basic C*algebra theory is assumed and then follows a careful construction and analysis of the operator K-theory groups and proof of the results of K-theory, including Bott periodicity. Of specific interest to algebraists and geometrists, the book aims to give full instruction. No details are left out in the presentation and many instructive and generously hinted exercises are provided. Apart from K-theory, this book offers complete and self contained expositions of important advanced C*-algebraic constructions like tensor products, multiplier algebras and Hilbert modules.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners in the subject, May 1 1999
This review is from: K-Theory and C*-Algebras: A Friendly Approach (Hardcover)
This book is wonderful for beginners in K-theory of operator algebras because it also covers some fundamentals from other subjects that are needed. The proofs are always very clear. The best of it are the excercises! Very many details of K-theory and its applications become clear when you do the excercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to the subjects!, Nov 21 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: K-Theory and C*-Algebras: A Friendly Approach (Hardcover)
This book is a rarity in mathematics - a technical book on a difficult subject that remains entirely readable, even to non-specialists. Rather than the usual 300 pages of dense text and inscrutable proofs, the author gives examples, straightforward proofs, and a writing style that borders on the (gasp!) conversational. Highly recommended, especially for non-mathematicians needing to learn K-theory. :)
