  Toric varieties are algebraic varieties arising from elementary geometric and combinatorial objects. This text aims to develop the foundations of the study of toric varieties, and describe these relations and applications. It includes Stanley's theorem characterizing the numbers of simplicies in each dimension in a convex simplicial polytope.
