Title of Talk | A p-adic Euclidean Algorithm |
Abstract | A brief introduction to the p-adic numbers will be given. Then a p-adic Division Algorithm and a p-adic Euclidean Algorithm will be defined in such a way that they mimic the classical algorithms. Lastly these methods are used to compute a generalized GCD and a p-adic simple continued fraction. |
