AND RELATED AREAS
Wednesday, November 20, 2024
5 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. (including a coffee break)
SPEAKER: Zachary Snyder
The Catholic University of America
TITLE: Matroid theory
ABSTRACT: A matroid is a mathematical structure that generalizes the notion of linear independence. Because of their generality, matroids are useful in a variety of mathematical contexts. We define matroids, study a variety of examples, and describe connections with graph theory, category theory, and topology.
PLACE: Aquinas Hall, room 108.
ORGANIZERS: V. Bogdan (The Catholic University of America), P. Kainen (Georgetown University), R. Kalpathy (The Catholic University of America), and A. Levin (The Catholic University of America).
