These lecture notes contain an exposition of basic ideas of K-theory and cyclic cohomology. I begin with a list of examples of various situations in which the K-functor of Grothendieck appears naturally, including the rudiments of the topological and algebraic K-theory, K-theory of C^*-algebras, and K-homology. I then discuss elementary properties of cyclic cohomology using the Cuntz-Quillen version of the calculus of noncommutative differential forms on an algebra. As an example of the… CONTINUE READING
