Abstract
- In 1960 algebraic topology was at the centre of the mathematical stage, but Michael Atiyah burst into the field and changed its focus and its language. I describe his work of the following decade and its influence, keeping to the themes of K-theory and generalized cohomology to minimise the overlap with Dan Freed's account of Atiyah's work on index theory, which also appears in this issue.
