I am learning Tensors (along with GR) and Maxima.
I would like to type in a work some of the examples
from my resource books such as:
Relativity Demystified
by David McMahon and Paul M. Alsing
Schaum's Tensor Calculus
by David C. Kay
A First Course in General Relativity
by Bernard F. Schutz
So far I have been reading Victor Toth's pages
and the manual but would greatly appreciate any
pointers you can offer or advice...
Victor Toth's Tensor and Maxima page(s):
http://www.vttoth.com/maxima.html
And his paper from Arxiv.org:
Tensor manipulation in GPL Maxima
http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.SC/0503073
