If I am going to use ScalarPotential to denote the Potential of a conservative field, then adding just '2' to it won't make sense. Or maybe you mean something like ScalarPotential(2, 'MKS'). In this case, the overloaded operators will ensure that things like '2*scalar_potential' or 'scalar_potential1 + scalar_potential2' all get converted to another ScalarPotential instance. Or maybe using just a generic 'ScalarField' class should suffice as you say. In that case, even the magnetic vector potential could be denoted by an instance of 'Vector' (as per Prasoon's proposal) As you suggest, I will look into the current diffgeom module. By the way, I would appreciate it if you could answer my other query- about the association of coordinate variables for every Vector instance.
