K-Theory by Max Karoubi

however, we assume that the reader is familiar with the basic definitions of homotopy theory: homotopy classes of maps and homotopy groups.Thus this book might be regarded as a fairly self-contained introduction to a generalized cohomology theory.

From the reviews:

"Karoubi’s classic K-Theory, An Introduction … is ‘to provide advanced students and mathematicians in other fields with the fundamental material in this subject’… K-Theory, An Introduction is a phenomenally attractive book: a fantastic introduction and then some. … serve as a fundamental reference and source of instruction for outsiders who would be fellow travelers." (Michael Berg, MAA Online, December, 2008)

Max Karoubi received his PhD in mathematics (Doctorat d'Etat) from Paris University in 1967, while working in the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), under the supervision of Henri Cartan and Alexander Grothendieck.  After his PhD, he took a position of "Maître de Conférences" at the University of Strasbourg until 1972. He was then nominated full Professor at the University of Paris 7-Denis Diderot until 2007. He is now an Emeritus Professor there.
