Computing with the p-adics

Computations in the p-adics and their extensions is important for
many reasons, including most recently point counting algorithms for elliptic
curves. I will briefly outline the theory behind the p-adics,
motivate their use, and then give an overview of the algorithms and tricks
underlying Magma's new implementation of the p-adics.
