Neutrinos have an important role in cosmology, and here we review them in some detail. We review the fascinating history of how neutrinos were first proposed then detected. We then mathematically describe neutrino oscillations. We describe decoupling of neutrinos from the thermal bath, point out the likely existence of the cosmic neutrino background, and discuss prospects for detecting it directly.
