This volume makes accessible some of the best results in matroid theory. Each paper is followed by a commentary providing background and a bibliography of related work. The volume is divided into five sections: origins and basic concepts; linear representations of matroids; enumeration in geometric lattices; the Tutte decomposition; and recent advances. This anthology is suitable as an introduction to the subject, as well as a reference for student and teacher.
