I thought the "tropical" in "tropical semiring" had something to do with its structure. But it's just because the guy who invented tropical analysis lived in Brazil?
The tropical semiring has various applications (see tropical analysis), and forms the basis of tropical geometry. The name tropical is a reference to the Hungarian-born computer scientist Imre Simon, so named because he lived and worked in Brazil.[1]
