Title: The p-adic Numbers: From Local to Global

Abstract: The often mentioned (but scarcely used at UNC) p-adic numbers play a role in many branches of mathematics (and even recently in quantum mechanics). This talk aims to give an introduction to p-adic numbers including intuition and their construction, both analytically and algebraically. If time allows, I will discuss some other interesting content such as Ostrowski’s theorem, Hensel’s Lemma, and the Hasse Principle.
