O some comments

below are the lecture notes and videos for the 2007 matroid theory class, which i taught jointly at san francisco state university (usa) and the universidad de los andes (colombia).
i was a bit hesitant to post all of this for anyone to see. everyone makes mistakes when they teach, but not everyone immortalizes them on the internet. :) but i decided the lectures might be useful to people so i posted them anyway. if they have been helpful to you, please let me know how you are using them - drop me an email to federico at math dot sfsu dot edu.
