N atur non facit saltus? This book is devoted to the fundamental
problem which arises contin uously in the process of the human
investigation of reality: the role of a mathematical apparatus in a
description of reality. We pay our main attention to the role of
number systems which are used, or may be used, in this process. We
shall show that the picture of reality based on the standard (since
the works of Galileo and Newton) methods of real analysis is not
the unique possible way of presenting reality in a human brain.
There exist other pictures of reality where other num ber fields
are used as basic elements of a mathematical description. In this
book we try to build a p-adic picture of reality based on the
fields of p-adic numbers Qp and corresponding analysis (a
particular case of so called non-Archimedean analysis). However,
this book must not be considered as only a book on p-adic analysis
and its applications. We study a much more extended range of
problems. Our philosophical and physical ideas can be realized in
other mathematical frameworks which are not obliged to be based on
p-adic analysis. We shall show that many problems of the
description of reality with the aid of real numbers are induced by
unlimited applications of the so called Archimedean axiom."
