Abstract
It is a close connection between various kinds of inequalities and the concept of convexity. The main aim of this paper is to illustrate this fact in a unified way as an introduction of this area. In particular, a number of variants of classical inequalities, but also some new ones, are derived and discussed in this general frame.
