In this two-part lecture series, I will delve into the intricate interactions between neutrinos and matter. We will explore various processes involving (anti)neutrinos, such as quasielastic scattering, the inelastic production of mesons(pions, eta, etc.), and hyperons, and deep inelastic scattering from free nucleons. Additionally, we will cover topics like the Shallow Inelastic Region and Quark-Hadron Duality. Furthermore, we will qualitatively examine the significance of nuclear medium effects in the intermediate and high-energy regions within these processes.

Neutrinos have been assumed to have no mass. If neutrinos have mass, neutrino oscillations should occur. Neutrino oscillations were discovered by studying atmospheric and solar neutrinos. I will discuss the discovery of neutrino oscillations and the status of the oscillation studies.
