ABSTRACT:  A numerical semigroup is an additive submonoid of N whose complement is finite.  The cardinality of N/S is called the genus of S and is denoted by g(S).  The first nonzero element of S is called the multiplicity of S and is denoted by m(S).  In this talk, we will introduce these ideas, explain their connection to the Frobenius problem, and mention some interesting results.  We will then discuss our contribution to the field.
