Tropical algebraic geometry. (English) Zbl 1162.14300

Oberwolfach Seminars 35. Basel: Birkhäuser (ISBN 978-3-7643-8309-1/pbk). viii, 103 p. (2007).
Publisher’s description: These notes present a polished introduction to tropical geometry and contain some applications of this rapidly developing and attractive subject. It consists of three chapters which complete each other and give a possibility for non-specialists to make the first steps in the subject which is not yet well represented in the literature. The notes are based on a seminar at the Mathematical Research Center in Oberwolfach in October 2004. The intended audience is graduate, post-graduate, and Ph.D. students as well as established researchers in mathematics.
For a review, cf. the 2nd edition [Basel: Birkhäuser (2009; Zbl 1165.14002)].
