Abstract
In this chapter we introduce the basic notions related to numerical semigroups. Numerical semigroups have not been always been referred to as such. In the past some authors called them semimodules, or demimodules and recently many authors (mainly those concerned with factorization properties) are starting to refer to them as numerical monoids.
