Title: Introduction to Algebraic K-theory

Abstract:  

This is the second of two talks in Algebraic K-theory. I aim to extend the previously discussed 9-term exact sequence into a long exact sequence by defining the higher K-groups via homotopy theory. I will talk about the construction of the topological space \(BGL(R)^+\), show how its homotopy groups define \(K_n(R)\), and confirm that this framework is consistent with the lower K-groups already established.
