Title: Counting matroid extensions

Speaker: Shayla Redlin Hume
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Location: MC 5479

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss methods of counting the number of extensions of certain matroids. We will see that, in some cases, the number of extensions is surprisingly large. I will start by introducing matroids, so previous experience with matroids is not assumed.
