A conference on algebraic K-theory was held at the Battelle Seattle Research Center from August 28 to September 8, 1972, with the joint support of the National Science Foundation and the Battelle Memorial Institute. The present volume consists mainly of papers presented at, or stimulated by, that conference, plus some closely related papers by mathematicians who did not attend the conference but who have kindly consented to publish their work here. In addition there are several papers devoted to surveys of subjects treated at the conference, and to the formulation of open research problems. It was our intention thus to present a reasonably comprehensive documentation of the current research in algebraic K-theory, and, if possible, to give this research a greater coherence than it has heretofore enjoyed. It was particularly gratifying to see the latter aim largely achieved already in the course of preparing these Proceedings.
