Semigroup: History, Algebraic overview & Examples of semigroups

In mathematics, a semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an associative internal binary operation on it. In mathematical analysis, the term also appears in the theory of one-parameter operator semigroups: see C0-semigroup.
