AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the Mathematica package EinS, which is designed for tensor calculations. A user inquires about its usefulness and how to obtain it, receiving a suggestion to check a specific website, although they encounter download issues. They then mention downloading an alternative package called Ricci but face difficulties accessing it. Another participant suggests using wxMaxima for tensor manipulation, providing a link to a free textbook that includes instructions and examples for its use. The conversation highlights challenges in obtaining and using tensor calculation software, along with alternative resources available for users.

Hi all,
There's a mathematica package called EinS... it's used for tensor calculations... has anybody of you tried it before? Is it useful? Do you have any idea how I could get it? Thank you in advance.

hi Matt, thanks for ur suggestion. i already found this page but i couldn't download from it. anyways, i downloaded another package for tensor calculation called Ricci. I tried to access it using <<Ricci.m, but it's not working. could you or anyone else help me please? thanks a lot
 
Hello,

I am not sure about the Ricci program but I have one called wxMaxima running on my computer. It can be used to compute/manipulate tensors. How to use it is outlined in a free textbook from Light and Matter.

Here is a link to the free textbook.

In this book there are examples of how to use wxMaxima. You will need to download one other package but the details are outlined in various examples throughout the textbook.

Thanks
Matt
