However, over time, these concepts became indispensable tools in the hands of specialists. In this video, Derek Muller from the Veritasium channel will talk about another such curiosity — strange infinite P-adic numbers, which were used in their calculations by more than a dozen Fields Medal winners and, thanks to which it was possible to solve Fermat's Last Theorem. Special thanks for help with translating the video to Elena Ikonnikova and Sergey Samoylenko.
