I am currently younger than most who learn general relativity but is working at a higher standard than others in my year group, my maths teacher has asked me to research general relativity but all the information I have found tells me about what general relativity is and not how to solve it's equasion, can anyone help?|||General Relativity as written cannot generate closed form solutions. It is a multi-dimensional, partial differential equation-set, usually presented as a tensor.
For many needs, simplifications are made that allow for things like simple time dilation formulas in a spherical geometry centered on the massive center.
Why don't you search on:
"Shapiro time delay"
"gravitational time dilation"
"Einstein rings"
"Kruskal coordinates"
and or start here:

... the section on General Relativity and Cosmology... or here:

I think your teacher was trying to shut you up.
