In the tropics, just as in other geometries, one of the simplest objects is a line. Therefore, we begin our exploration by considering tropical lines. Afterwards, we take a look at tropical arithmetic and algebra, and describe how to define tropical curves using tropical polynomials.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/510Discrete Mathematics and FoundationsGeometry and TopologyReport10 S.
