Program

Start: Monday, February 28
Finish: Friday, March 4

The main topic of this coding workshop is tropical geometry as represented in the book “Introduction to Tropical Algebraic Geometry” by Diane Maclagan and Bernd Sturmfels [MS18]. This includes:

Basics of tropical geometry:
- Tropical numbers
- Tropical polynomials
- Tropical matrices
Tropical Geometry + Algebraic Geometry:
- Tropicalization of algebraic varieties
- Groebner complexes of polynomial ideals
Tropical Geometry + Basic Group Theory:
- see Section 1.6 in [MS18]
Tropical Geometry + Basic Number Theory:
- see Section 2.1 in [MS18]
Tropical Geometry + Combinatorics:
- see Chapter 4 in [MS18]

If time permits, we will look into further topics such as:

examples from the forthcoming book “Essential of Tropical Combinatorics” by Michael Joswig
comprehensive visualization of tropical plane curves as in the Singular library tropical.lib
tropical varieties of neural networks
tropical jacobians
3D printing tropical curves and surfaces
