Explore advanced concepts in general relativity through this graduate-level lecture from the Warsaw4PhD and GeoPlanet PhD schools. Delve into Christoffel symbols, linearized gravity, and the Newtonian approximation as presented by Mikołaj Korzyński from the Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences. Begin with corrections to the previous lecture and work through problem sheets to reinforce understanding. Examine the intricacies of linearized gravity in two separate segments, interspersed with a brief break and additional problem-solving exercises. Conclude by investigating the Newtonian approximation, gaining a comprehensive understanding of these fundamental topics in theoretical physics over the course of nearly two hours.
