The subject of C ]*-algebras received a dramatic revitalization in the 1970s by the introduction to topological methods through the work of Brown, Douglas, and Fillmore on extensions of C ]*-algebras and Elliott's use of K -theory to provide a useful classification of AF algebras. These results were the beginning of a new set of tools for analysing concrete C ]*-algebras.
