Kurt Hensel (1861-1941) discovered the p-adic numbers around the turn of the century. These exotic numbers (or so they appeared at first) are now well-established in the mathematical world and used more and more by physicists as well. This book offers a self-contained presentation of basic p-adic analysis. The author is especially interested in the analytical topics in this field. Some of the features which are not treated in other introductory p-adic analysis texts are topological models of p-adic spaces inside Euclidean space, a construction of spherically complete fields, a p-adic mean value theorem and some consequences, a special case ...

Reviews for A Course in p-adic Analysis (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
“This well-written book, complete with all proofs and a wealth of exercises, is perfectly suited as a text book for introductory courses.” (Wim Schikhof, zbMATH 0947.11035, 2022) From the reviews: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "The text ends with a large number of exercises. The writing is extremely clear and very meticulous. The bibliography, which does not ... Read more
