My p-adic journey started with Ram Murty’s YouTube lectures and Eric Rowland’s work.

Dear @Shenghui Yang ,

I did not know about the YouTube lectures, but I will certainly have a look a them. The mathematical ideas used in this post are quite old, but I like how they link different areas of mathematics and its applications.

I am certainly far from an expert in this area, but I always enjoy exploring… As a side note, I am currently trying to improve my LLM->Wolfram pipeline. To some extent Claude Code and Codex use Wolfram as a tool, which makes them much more powerful. I hope that at some point I can describe my setup here in the Community.

Thank you for your comment
Marco
