Real algebras, topological K-theoryResumen
In this paper, we expose initial concepts of real division algebras, providing historical noteson $\R$, $\C$, $\Ham$ and $\Oct$. This is done to emphasize the relevance of topological K-theory
through the Bott-Milnor-Kervaire Theorem, which is at the end. For completeness, we also present
two classical results about the main division algebras.
