Abstract: Research in neutrino physics has been very active, both in experimental advances, with a new generation of detectors in operation and planning, and in theoretical discussions regarding the fundamental nature of the neutrino. This scientific dynamism has attracted many new students to the field. One of the first topics studied in neutrino physics by newcomers is the formalism of neutrino flavor oscillations and its associated phenomenology. We present this work as a compilation of this basic knowledge, through a step-by-step approach that facilitates an efficient understanding of this vast theoretical and experimental landscape.
