Math 665: Tropical Brill–Noether Theory
These are lecture notes for a seminar course led by David Jensen and Sam Payne at Yale University in Spring 2016. Seminar participants included Daniel Corey, Netanel Friedenberg, Oleksii Kislinskyi, Nikolay Malkin, Dhruv Ranganathan, Jifeng (Tif) Shen, Jeremy Usatine, and Nicholas Wawrykow.
Notes for each lecture were taken by Friedenberg, and revised by Jensen, Payne, and the speaker, with input from all participants.
