P-adic numbers play a very important role in modern number theory,
algebraic geometry and representation theory. Lately P-adic numbers
have attracted a great deal of attention in modern theoretical
physics as a promising new approach for describing the
non-archimedean geometry of space-time at small distances. This is
the "first" book to deal with applications of P-adic numbers in
theoretical and mathematical physics. It gives an elementary and
thoroughly written introduction to P-adic numbers and P-adic
analysis with great numbers of examples as well as applications of
P-adic numbers in classical mechanics, dynamical systems, quantum
mechanics, statistical physics, quantum field theory and string
theory.
