Title: The p-adic numbers

Abstract: In this talk, we will introduce the p-adic numbers and discuss an analogy between polynomials and the p-adics. We will also briefly discuss p-derivations, which are a sort of derivative by a prime number.

Please plan to join us today as the talk will be accessible to anyone who has taken Calculus!
