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 of Hazewinkel's functional equation lemma, a remainder formula for the Mahler expansion, and most importantly a treatment of analytic elements UR - https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bfm:978-1-4757-3254-2/1 UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6191146-a-course-in-p-adic-analysis?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_13#CommunityReviews ER -
