{wiki=Tropical_geometry}
Tropical geometry is a relatively new area of mathematics that arises from 'tropicalizing' classical algebraic geometry. In classical algebraic geometry, one studies varieties defined over fields, typically using tools from linear algebra, polynomial equations, and algebraic structures. Tropical geometry, on the other hand, replaces the usual operations of addition and multiplication with tropical operations.
