Abstract

A comprehensive introduction to the theory of the solar neutrino problem is given that is aimed at instructors who are not experts in quantum field theory but would like to incorporate these ideas into instruction of advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in courses like astrophysics or quantum mechanics, it is also aimed at the inquisitive student who would like to learn this topic on their own. The presentation assumes as theoretical preparation only that the reader is familiar with the basics of quantum mechanics in Dirac notation and elementary differential equations and matrices.
