DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/NASO/5/">A f
 riendly Introduction to matroids</a>\nby Tara Fife (Louisiana State Univer
 sity) as part of Max Planck Institute nonlinear algebra seminar online\n\n
 \nAbstract\nMatroids were introduced by Whitney in 1935 to provide an abst
 ract generalization of the notion of linear independence. Whitney noted th
 at matroids arise naturally from graphs and from matrices. More recently\,
  people have discovered ties to matroid theory and algebraic geometry. In 
 this talk\, I will first introduce matroid theory\, along with some key ex
 amples\, and central questions. I will then discuss connections between ma
 troid theory and nonlinear algebra.\n
