ORIENTED MATROIDS. Second Edition
Anders Björner, Bernd Sturmfels, Michel las Vergnas, Neil White, Günter M. Ziegler
Oriented matroids are a very natural mathematical concept which prescrits itself in many different guises and which has connections and applications to many different areas. These include discrete and computational geometry, combinatorics, convexity, topology, algebraic geometry, operations research, computer science and theoretical chemistry. This is the first comprehensive, accessible account of the subject. It is intended for a diverse audience: graduate students who wish to learn the subject from scratch, researchers in the various fields of application who want to concentrate on certain aspects of the theory; specialists who need a thorough reference work; and others at points in between. A list of exercises and open problems ends each chapter.
For the second edition, the authors have expanded the bibliography greatly to ensure that it remains comprehensive and
up-to-date, and they have also added an appendix surveying research since the work was first published.
