May 6, 2011 at 6:56 comment added Kevin Buzzard @Thomas Riepe: "IMO one should put his article free online.". Of course the company who owns the copyright might have other opinions :-) especially if we're talking about LNM 341 and hence that company is Sptinger...

May 6, 2011 at 5:59 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez @jlk: the paper is [Quillen, Daniel. On the cohomology and $K$-theory of the general linear groups over a finite field. Ann. of Math. (2) 96 (1972), 552--586. MR0315016 (47 #3565)]

May 6, 2011 at 5:45 comment added jlk @Mariano Suárez-Alvarez: Which paper contain his computation of the K-theory of a finite field?
May 6, 2011 at 5:16 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez (by «one» of course I mean mostly «he»)
May 6, 2011 at 5:16 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez His "Higher K-theory" paper, mentioned by Dan, is a real pleasure to read. His computation of K-theory of a finite field, on the other hand, is a nice example of how one can compute difficult things while writing clearly :)
May 6, 2011 at 4:50 comment added Thomas Riepe Sad to hear that. IMO one should put his article free online. Memories from Landsburg: thebigquestions.com/2011/05/03/the-architect
May 6, 2011 at 4:44 comment added Dan Ramras He won the fields medal largely for his article on algebraic K-theory (LNM 341). I recommend starting there.
