This paper provides specific results on the Igusa local zeta function for the curves xn+ym. In addition to specific results, we give an introduction to p-adic analysis and a discussion of various methods which have been used to compute these zeta functions. The paper was written by the 1992 REU group in p-adic analysis supervised by Margaret Robinson. It has been available on the Mount Holyoke REU website.
