The Theory of Classical Valuations

By Paulo Ribenboim

Book Overview

Kurschak formally introduced the concept of a valuation of a field, as being real valued functions on the set of non-zero elements of the field satisfying certain properties, like the p-adic valuations. Ostrowski, Hasse, Schmidt and others developed this theory. These are the topics which are the object of this book.
