“This wonderful book will appeal to students and researchers of all
stripes: it begins at an undergraduate level and ends with deep
connections to toric varieties, compactifications, and
degenerations. In between, the authors provide the first complete
proofs in book form of many fundamental results in the subject. The
pages are sprinkled with illuminating examples, applications, and
exercises, and the writing is lucid and meticulous throughout. It
is that rare kind of book which will be used equally as an
introductory text by students and as a reference for experts”. -

"Who should read the book? Everybody who wants to learn what
tropical geometry can be about…The result is a straight path to
tropical geometry via combinatorial commutative algebra and
polyhedral combinatorics. In this way, the book by Maclagan and
Sturmfels will become a standard reference in the field for years
to come."
