Homology of Linear Groups

The text traces the homology theory of linear groups from the fundamental work of Quillen, Suslin, van der Kallen and others to recent results on rank one groups. A chapter on the Friedlander-Milnor-conjecture concerning the homology of algebraic groups made discrete is also included. This marks the first time that these results have been collected in a single volume. The book will be of interest to researchers and can be used as a textbook on graduate courses in K-theory and group cohomology.
