This lecture covers the derivation of Einstein equations from the variation of the action, discussing the gravitational radius, Schwarzschild radius, and the Newtonian limit of gravity, leading to the Schwarzschild metric. The lecture also explores the energy-momentum tensor for various systems like scalar fields, electromagnetic fields, and point-like particles.
