The noncommutative geometry of fundamental interactions

Noncommutative geometry a la Connes offers a new perspective on models of particle physics. It provides a geometrical dressing for the Standard Model along with new, concrete predictions. I will present the rudiments of Connes theory and provide an outlook into the possible applications. I will complement the general theory with a brief discussion of my own results concerning the causal structure.
