Program that writes tensor equations out

[JonnyMaddox]

Hi, I'm looking for a program that spits out fully summed index equations. For example T_{ii} in, out comes T_{11}+T_{22}+... and so on, with Einstein summation convention.

Some programming languages have features to iterate over arrays. MATLAB is one example.

However I've not seen any that will do the expansion.

Why do you need this?

I think Maxima can do the job (see http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/maxima_25.html) though I am not familiar with this.

Hi thanks, I'll look that up. I use maxima anyway.
