Algebraic K-Theory and Its Applications

Focusing on the fundamentals of Algebraic K-Theory, this book is designed for graduate students and mathematicians from various fields. It demystifies the subject, which is integral to algebraic topology, number theory, and algebraic geometry, making it accessible with minimal prerequisites. Key concepts from algebraic topology, homological algebra, and algebraic number theory are introduced as necessary. The final chapter offers a clear overview of cyclic homology and its connections to K-Theory, enhancing the reader's understanding of its broad applications.
