Ondrej, Yes, the relativity.py example works. However, I want to do indicial tensor algebra and was hoping tensor.py is a start in that direction. The tensor.py included with the dist sympy-0.6.3 in examples is what I hacked. I don't see a way to attach a file in posting. I would have attached t

Ondrej, I have taken the tensor.py script and have stripped out most of it, wanting to see just how far it gets before crashing. Here is what I have: from sympy import exp, Symbol, sin, Rational, Derivative, dsolve from sympy.core import Basic, Function from sympy.matrices import Matrix clas

Thanks for the suggestion. I have now looked at the relativity.py file and believe it to be a reasonable start. Once I understand more I will make some related changes and let you know what I get. Another related area is general relativistic fluid dynamics for which sympy hopefully can be useful

Further to Alan Bromborsky: The book by Lazenby and Doran is outstanding. However, the formulation of general relativity expressed there is not formally equivalent in all senses to Einstein's relativity, I will have to re-read the papers but I'm pretty sure it is possible to derive results from t
