Abstract
Matroids are combinatorial abstractions of linear independence. Using ideas from algebraic geometry, June Huh and his collaborators have made major breakthroughs and resolved several long-standing conjectures. I will sketch the proof of the Rota-Heron-Welsh conjecture in the realisable case.
