For another accessible introduction to p-adic numbers, check out Eric Rowland's overview [1].

It's also not a full introduction, but for those who want to have a taste of p-adic numbers, see 3b1b's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFDM1ip5HdU which motivates 2-adic numbers. There's also a neat connection between twos complement and 2-adic numbers.
