  The Baum-Connes conjecture is part of A Connes' non-commutative geometry programme. This book presents an introduction to the Baum-Connes conjecture. It starts by defining the objects in both sides of the conjecture, then the assembly map which connects them. It illustrates the main tool to attack the conjecture (Kasparov's theory).
