The goal of this reading group is to introduce the theory of higher algebraic K-theory both through Waldhausen's S-dot construction and Quillen's Q-construction, and understanding the connection between these, aswell as proving some of the fundemental theorems in algebraic K-theory.

We will meet Wednesday at 2-4pm during term 2, in B.3.01. Here is an overview of the talks, and a more detailed description.
