K-theory for C*-algebras
A second review of K-theory for C-algebras: Bott periodicity, stability and long-exact sequences. Really basic C-algebras: characterization and K-theory. Continuous fields of C-algebras, and the K-theory groups of a continuous field. Mapping cone continuous fields. Open subsets of the spectrum of a C-algebra and ideals. Examples related to SL(2,R).
