    This review summarizes the first decade of development of weak lensing, tying together the mathematical basis for how lensing works with qualitative descriptions of early results from the field. While some of the specific details of how various aspects of the weak-lensing signal are measured and modeled have changed in the intervening 13 years, this article is still an excellent starting point for someone wanting to the learn the basics of how weak lensing works in practice.
