Abstract
The study of convex functions of one real variable offers an excellent glimpse of the beauty and fascination of advanced mathematics. The reader will find here a large variety of results based on simple and intuitive arguments that have remarkable applications. At the same time they provide the starting point of deep generalizations in the setting of several variables, that will be discussed in the next chapters.
