Abstract
This part of the Advanced Course is meant to introduce the reader to an invariant for C*-algebras —the Cuntz semigroup— which has recently come to the forefront of research on C*-algebra classification. In order to motivate its introduction we return to the roots of the theory of operator algebras, and to the type classification of factors in particular.
