Description

Abstract: 

This talk is meant to be a gentle introduction to the fascinating world of $p$−adic numbers. This is a realm where $p^{n}$ keeps on becoming smaller and smaller as we increase $n$.
This will be followed by a discussion on three fascinating applications - one from algebra/analysis, one from combinatorics/geometry, and one from algebra/number theory… quite a wide range, right?
