Introduction # In this paper, we explore the $p$-adic system, by defining it in multiple ways: as an extension of the $p$-adic integers, as well as an extension of the rationals. We then proceed to perform analysis in the $p$-adics, by defining convergence, continuity and discs. We then describe exponentiation and logarithmic functions over the $p$-adics as functions derived from power series. We explore the radius of convergence and other properties of these functions. ...
