Einstein's general relativity is increasingly important in contemporary
physics on the frontiers of both the very largest distance scales (astrophysics
and cosmology) and the very smallest(elementary particle physics). This paper
makes the case for a `physics first' approach to introducing general relativity
to undergraduate physics majors.
