It explores how this relatively new area, which combines algebraic and polyhedral geometry, uses a "tropical" version of algebra where addition is replaced with minimization and multiplication with addition, to study algebraic varieties. The book offers a self-contained treatment, suitable for graduate students, and covers fundamental concepts, theorems, and applications, including connections to toric varieties, compactifications, and degenerations ER -
