Abstract
The premetric formalism is an alternative representation of a classical field theory in which the field equations are formulated without the spacetime metric. Only the constitutive relations between the basic field variables can involve the metric of the underlying manifold. In this paper, we present a brief pedagogical review of the premetric formalism in mechanics, electromagnetism, and gravity.
