The goal of this book is to offer such an opportunity, by way of a visit to the p-adic universe. Such a visit offers a glimpse of a part of mathematics which is both important and fun, and which also is something of a meeting point between algebra and analysis. Over the last century, p-adic numbers and p-adic analysis have come to playa central role in modern number theory. This importance comes from the fact that they afford a natural and powerful language for talking about congruences between integers, and allow the use of methods borrowed from calculus and analysis for studying such problems. More recently, p-adic num bers have shown up in other areas of mathematics, and even in physics. | 出版日期 | Textbook 19972nd edition | 关键词 | Algebra; absolute values on fields; calculus; finite field; number theory; p-adic analysis; p-adic numbers | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-59058-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-59058-0Series ISSN 0172-5939 Series E-ISSN 2191-6675 | issn_series | 0172-5939 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1997 |
