  We review the noncommutative approach to the standard model. We start with
the introduction if the mathematical concepts necessary for the definition of
noncommutative spaces, and manifold in particular. This defines the framework
of spectral geometry. This is applied to the standard model of particle
interaction, discussing the fermionic and bosonic spectral action. The issues
relating to the calculation of the mass of the Higgs are discussed, as well as
the role of neutrinos and Wick rotations. Finally, we present the possibility
of solving the problem of the Higgs mass by considering a pregeometric grand
symmetry.
