LSST will find more strong gravitational lensing events than any other survey preceding it, and will monitor them all at a cadence of a few days to a few weeks. We can expect the biggest advances in strong lensing science made with LSST to be in those areas that benefit most from the large volume, and the high accuracy multi-filter time series: studies of, and using, several thousand lensed quasars and several hundred supernovae. However, the high quality imaging will allow us to detect and measure large numbers of background galaxies multiply-imaged by galaxies, groups and clusters. In this poster we give an overview of the strong lensing science enabled by LSST, and highlight the particular associated technical challenges that will have to be faced when working with the survey.
