Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show a simple method of finding $\mathbb Z_2$-Betti numbers of oriented Grassmannians. The actual calculation is performed by computing $\mathbb Z_2$-ranks of matrices defined in a combinatorial way. For the reduction of problem from topology to matrix rank, we will analyse Morse homology of certain functions on the oriented Grassmannians.
