About what?

p-adic numbers are an integral part of algebraic number theory. In this talk we will define the field Q_p of p-adic numbers and observe some differences and similarities between Q_p and the field of real numbers. Furthermore, we will state Hensel's Lemma and deduce some immediate, yet interesting, properties of Q_p.
