These lectures are amazingly well crafted.

Introducing the Ricci tensor.
Equation for local conservation of charge dQ/dt =
-divergence(J).
View charge density as the 0th component of J. Then
dJ^mu/dx^mu = 0.
Introducing the energy-momentum tensor.
Local conservation of energy-momentum: dT^mu^nu/dx^mu = 0.
