Intended primarily to prepare first-year graduate students for their ongoing work in econometrics, economic theory, and finance, this book presents the fundamental concepts of theoretical econometrics, from measure-theoretic probability to statistics. It also features ideas and presents them as solutions to practical problems.

Written for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students, this book aims to introduce students to a serious level of p-adic analysis with important implications for number theory. Its main object is the study of G-series, that is, power series y=aij=0 Ajxj with coefficients in an algebraic number field K.
