This chapter is devoted to study the Riemann problems for scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. In particular, we introduce the definitions of entropy and non-entropy shock waves, rarefaction waves and contact discontinuities by first considering genuinely nonlinear characteristic fields, linearly degenerate characteristic fields and then passing to general characteristic fields.
