Abstract

Tropical Mathematics is a relatively new field of mathematics that is getting a lot of attention recently. It is applicable in the field of Combinatorics as well as Phylogenetics, and more uses are being found each day. Our goal was to find a way to classify Tropical Polynomials so that they may be better understood and ultimately bridge the gap between different applications and discoveries in Tropical Mathematics.
