A Course in p-adic Analysis (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2000)

Discovered at the turn of the 20th century, p-adic numbers are frequently used by mathematicians and physicists. This text is a self-contained presentation of basic p-adic analysis with a focus on analytic topics. It offers many features rarely treated in introductory p-adic texts such as topological models of p-adic spaces inside Euclidian space, a special case of Hazewinkel 's functional equation lemma, and a treatment of analytic elements.
