Surpassing all expectations, the Standard Model has predicted the outcomes of nearly every experiment conducted thus far. Neutrinos have no mass in it. However, we have gathered strong evidence in the last twenty years suggesting that the neutrinos have small but non-zero masses. These masses are a real delight because they allow neutrinos to oscillate and change flavor. I go over the characteristics of neutrinos both inside and outside the Standard Model in these lectures, as well as their incredible potential. I also revise the bits of data that defy the standard picture of the three neutrinos and discuss the possibilities of employing neutrinos to uncover any physics hidden outside the Standard Model.
