In this video, I show you how to derive the Einstein Field Equations from the Einstein-Hilbert action.

Typo At 8:37
My statement of the Palatini identity at 8:37 is missing the delta just before the Christoffel symbol in the second term. This delta must be inserted to obtain the correct identity. This error did not propagate through the calculation, because when actually doing the calculation, I used the correct identity, so only this line contains a typo.
