An amplifier amplifies voltage or current. The most basic amplifier consists of a transistor where a signal is fed into the base and is output to the emitter or collector.

For simple, low frequency applications (not RF), it may be simpler to use an operational amplifier (op amp) than designing your own amplifier. Also, the data sheets provide very helpful schematics for creating an amplifier. A very common one is the 741; these are also fairly cheap.
