Abstract
This lecture is a brief introduction General Relativity. We begin with an outline of general coordinate covariance, tensor analysis, and Riemannian geometry. The Bianchi identities are derived and we include some comments on torsion, since torsion may arise when spinor fields are present. Classical General Relativity is then reviewed and the field equations are found from the Einstein-Hilbert action. The Palatini formalism is also discussed.
