Abstract
The contents of the article represents the minicourse which was delivered at the 7th conference “Geometry and Topology of Manifolds. The Mathematical Legacy of Charles Ehresmann”, B/edlewo (Poland), 8.05.2005 – 15.05.2005. The article includes the description of the so called Hirzebruch formula in different aspects which lead to a basic list of problems related to noncommutative geometry and topology. In conclusion, two new problems are presented: about almost flat bundles and about the Noether decomposition of the Fredholm operators which may not admit the adjoint operator.
