Michael Atiyah Collected Works - Volume 2: K-Theory (Hardcover)

Professor Atiyah is one of the greatest living mathematicians and is well known throughout the mathematical world. He is a recipient of the Fields Medal, the mathematical equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and is still at the peak of his career. His huge number of published papers, focusing on the areas of algebraic geometry and topology, have here been collected into six volumes, divided thematically for easy reference by individuals interested in a particular subject. These papers, covering the years 1959-62, consist mainly of Michael Atiyah's joint papers with F. Hirzebruch on K-Theory.
