Scientific paper

We discuss some of our current knowledge of the mass distribution of DA and
non-DA stars using various methods for measuring white dwarf masses including
spectroscopic, trigonometric parallax, and gravitational redshift measurements,
with a particular emphasis on the problems encountered at the low end of the
cooling sequence where energy transport by convection becomes important.
