C*-Algebras by Example (Fields Institute Monographs, 6)

The continued vitality of the subject owes much to the study of examples, such as the approximately finite-dimensional C*-algebras(also called AF-algebras), the Cuntz algebras, the reduced group-C*-algebras, and the examples from physics, based on Fock space techniques. More ambitious ...
