More DescriptionThis is the second edition of the first comprehensive, accessible account of oriented matroids, which have applications to areas as diverse as geometry, combinatorics, operations research, computer science and theoretical chemistry. It is intended for a diverse audience: graduate students, researchers from other disciplines and specialists. 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.
