This is an introduction to p-adic analysis, displaying the variety of applications of the subject. Dr Schikhof shows how p-adic and 'real' analysis differ, providing a large number of exercises. This book will therefore become a standard reference for professionals (especially in p-adic analysis, number theory and algebraic geometry) and welcomed as a textbook for students.
