This video derives the geodesic equations for Schwarzschild geometry, using the general geodesic equation derived in my Tensor Calculus series (youtube.com/watch?v=5_79m-kHxts). With some of the coordinates, I also come up with the conservation laws for energy and angular momentum.

Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!
