You may have heard those odd combination of words: "tropical geometry", but what in the world is it? Where did it come from and why are various people from combinatorics, number theory, and geometry, all suddenly talking about it? Is it secretly a big ploy for mathematicians across fields to get money for hosting conferences in tropical locations? In this talk, we'll finally get our answer to these pressing questions: and see an example for why each of these subjects cares for this subject.
