An overview (but not a rigorous derivation) of the most important equations in General Relativity: the Einstein Field Equations. Famous solutions are also briefly discussed, such as the (exterior) Schwarzschild metric, Kerr metric, Reissner-Nordstrom metric, and the Alcubierre warp drive metric.

Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!

Pre-reqs: Videos before this one in my GR playlist, as well as Special Relativity: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdgVBOaXkb9Dc-vr2nw-UF6PJknfAuJzU
Knowing what the metric tensor is will also be helpful, but is not essential especially if you've gone through my SR series.
