Introduction to Algebraic K-Theory

Introduction to Algebraic K-Theory

This book gives a basic introduction to the algebraic K-theory space K(R) without assuming much knowledge in category theory or homotopy theory.The work is divided into two parts. Part I introduces all the necessary tools from category theory and simplicial homotopy theory which one needs to define the K-theory space.
