An introduction to toric stacks

Toric stacks are a tractable subclass of stacks due to their combinatorial structure. They can serve as an introduction to stacks in the same way that toric varieties can be an introduction to schemes. We will show how one can gain insight into the geometry of toric stacks with simple pictures of fans and marked points.
