Abstract

Historically, one of the earliest motivations for the development of K-theory was the need to put on a firm algebraic foundation a number of invariants or obstructions that appear in topology. The primary purpose of this chapter is to examine many of these K-theoretic invariants, not from a historical point of view, but rather a posteriori, now that K-theory is a mature subject.
