Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

The most important revision in the second edition are the enlargment of the treatment of p-adic functions in Ch. 4 to include the Iwasawa logarithm and the p-adic gamma-function, the rearrangement and addition of some exercises, the inclusion of an extensive appendix of answers and hints to the exercises, and numerous corrections and clarifications. The first edition has become the standard introduction to the theory of p-adic numbers on the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate level.

Recensione

From the reviews of the second edition:

“In the second edition of this text, Koblitz presents a wide-ranging introduction to the theory of p-adic numbers and functions. ... there are some really nice exercises that allow the reader to explore the material. ... And with the exercises, the book would make a good textbook for a graduate course, provided the students have a decent background in analysis and number theory.” (Donald L. Vestal, The Mathematical Association of America, April, 2011)
