Summary:	Published jointly by International Press and by Higher Education Press of China, the Advanced Lectures in Mathematics (ALM) series brings the latest mathematical developments worldwide to both researchers and students. Each volume consists of either an expository monograph or a collection of significant introductions to important topics. The ALM series emphasizes discussion of the history and significance of each topic discussed, with an overview of the current status of research, and presentation of the newest cutting-edge results. Cohomology of Groups and Algebraic K-theory. Cohomology of groups is a fundamental tool in many subjects of modern mathematics. One important generalized cohomology theory is the algebraic K-theory. Indeed, algebraic K-groups of rings are important invariants of the rings and have played important roles in algebra, topology, number theory, etc. This volume consists of expanded lecture notes from a 2007 seminar at Zhejiang University in China, at which several leading experts presented introductions, to and surveys of, many aspects of cohomology of groups and algebraic K-theory, along with their broad applications. Two foundational papers on algebraic K-theory by Daniel Quillen are also included. --Book Jacket.
