Reviews

“This book serves as a textbook that leads readers from a beginner's course on C*-algebra, through the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, to advanced topics in noncommutative geometry, such as cyclic cohomology and Kasparov's KK-theory. ... Each section is accompanied by a number of problems, and a notable advantage of the book is the extensive collection of examples scattered throughout the text. Some of them serve as a pretext for introducing some interesting advanced topics of noncommutative geometry.” (Vladimir Manuilov, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2025)
