Abstract

After a brief introduction to neutrino mass via the see-saw model I discuss neutrinomixing and oscillation, first in vacuum and then its matter enhancement. Then the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation data are briefly reviewed. Finally I discuss the problem of reconciling hierarchical neutrino masses with at least one large mixing, as implied by these data. A minimal see-saw model for reconciling the two is discussed.

Keywords Neutrino; mass; oscillation.
