Introduction to tropical geometry

By: Diane MaclaganContributor(s): Bernd SturmfelsMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Rhode Island: American Mathematical Society, [c2015]Description: 363 pISBN: 9780821851982Subject(s): MathematicsLOC classification: QA582
Contents:
Chapter 1. Tropical islands Chapter 2. Building blocks Chapter 3. Tropical varieties Chapter 4. Tropical rain forest Chapter 5. Tropical garden Chapter 6. Toric connections
Summary: This book offers a self-contained introduction to tropical geometry, suitable as a course text for beginning graduate students. Proofs are provided for the main results, such as the Fundamental Theorem and the Structure Theorem. Numerous examples and explicit computations illustrate the main concepts. Each of the six chapters concludes with problems that will help the readers to practice their tropical skills, and to gain access to the research literature. Tropical geometry is a young subject that has undergone a rapid development since the beginning of the 21st century. While establishing itself as an area in its own right, deep connections have been made to many branches of pure and applied mathematics. --- summary provided by publisher
