\section{Conclusions}  With the recent announcement of its first neutrino sightings\footnote{see section \ref{sect:results} for more information}, its clear that NO$\nu$A will bring with it a new level accuracy in experimental neutrino physics. NO$\nu$A's goal is to study the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations in order to uncover more information about the mass hierarchy of the various neutrino flavors. However, as discussed in section \ref{sect:cp}, \ref{sect:cp} and shown in figure \ref{fig:results-cp},  the probability of oscillating between various flavors is highly dependent on the amount by which CP conservation hold. Therefore, NO$\nu$A is actually studying two aspects of neutrino physics at once.
