An Introduction to Matroids
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Mohamed Omar, UC Davis |

Matroid Theory serves as a means of generalizing the notion of independence found throughout mathematics. We provide an introduction to Matroid Theory, and show how theorems in this general framework simultaneously establish results in Linear Algebra, Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Theory.
