I will give an introduction to tropical geometry which arises when you take the coordinate-wise logarithm of points in a curve and then take the base of the logarithm to infinity. This gives a combinatorial curve which is basically a bunch of rays starting at the origin. I will also talk a bit about polygons, number theory and geometry.
