Tropical Mathematics built on Idempotent Semi-Rings and Dioids permits an extension of the usual Linear methods to Non-Linear problems and provides powerful analyzing and computing in Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics. Until recently, solutions in mathematics and physics were organized around algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields. These techniques are not well-suited to modeling and solving non-linear problems.
