| Nov 9, 2011 at 14:42 | comment | added | Brian | Since my knowledge of K-theory is very limited, I get a big confused by your comment, that K-theory is for people who don't mind the fact that there's no general picture. It seems to me that K-theory creates a link between many different fields and so, it somehow a tool to see the big picture. So how is it then related to the fact that there may be no general picture at all? | |
