TCC Tropical Geometry Schedule
Term 1


The following is an outline of the course, which will be updated as the course progresses. Guides to the topic we will cover in any given week are only approximate.
The notes are the unedited output from the smart board, so may contain errors, or be unreadable (and are almost certainly useless for anyone who didn't attend the lectures unless they want to laugh at my inability to write legibly on this board!).
