This survey paper provides a brief introduction to the mathematical theory of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. After reviewing some basic concepts, we describe the fundamental theorem of Glimm on the global existence of BV solutions. We then outline the more recent results on uniqueness and stability of entropy weak solutions. Finally, some major open problems and research directions are discussed in the last section.
