  The intention of these lecture notes is to outline the basics of lattice
hadron spectroscopy to students from other fields of physics, e.g. from
experimental particle physics, who do not necessarily have a background in
quantum field theory. After a brief motivation and discussion of QCD, it is
explained, how QCD can in principle be solved numerically using lattice QCD.
The main part of these lecture notes is concerned with quantum numbers of
hadrons, corresponding hadron creation operators, and how the mass of a hadron
can be determined from a temporal correlation function of such operators.
Finally, three recent lattice hadron spectroscopy examples from the literature
are discussed on an elementary level.
