Two meetings of the AMS in the fall of 1989--one at the Stevens Institute of Technology and the other at Ball State University--included Special Sessions on the role of $$p$$-adic methods in number theory and algebraic geometry. This volume grew out of these Special Sessions. Drawn from a wide area of mathematics, the articles presented here provide an excellent sampling of the broad range of trends and applications in $$p$$-adic methods.
