Synopsis
There are numbers of all kinds: rational, real, complex, p-adic. The p-adic numbers are less well known than the others, but they play a fundamental role in number theory and in other parts of mathematics. This elementary introduction offers a broad understanding of p-adic numbers. From the reviews: "It is perhaps the most suitable text for beginners, and I shall definitely recommend it to anyone who asks me what a p-adic number is." --THE MATHEMATICAL GAZETTE

"This book was intended to be for undergraduates and it was really an excellent place to start, with a good choice of subjects and many exercises, and this third edition is even better. ... It is really an excellent book with a vivid style, pleasant to read, with 360 exercises going from easy computations by hand of an example to more advanced conceptual or computational exercises." (Daniel Barsky, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2022)
