Foundation is a powerful tool to understand the representability of matroids. The foundation of a matroid is a pasture which is an algebraic structure genrealize the field. I will briefly introduce matroids, algebraic structures (especially pastures) and matroid representability. I will also give some examples on how foundation works in representation of matroids.
