The Theory of Classical Valuations (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1999)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1999, 4 October 2012

Kurschak formally introduced the concept of a valuation of a field, as being real valued functions on the set of non-zero elements of the field satisfying certain properties, like the p-adic valuations. Ostrowski, Hasse, Schmidt and others developed this theory. These are the topics which are the object of this book.
