This book provides a step-by-step approach to the facilities available in MAPLE, REDUCE, and SHEEP--three innovative computer algebra systems--for performing calculations relevant to general relativity theory research. Beginning with MAPLE and REDUCE, two widespread great-purpose systems, the authors describe how currently available packages perform tetrad, coordinate system, and Poincaré gauge theory calculations. A section on SHEEP and Stensor offers expert guidance on how they can be used to tackle...
Based on a series of lectures given at a summer school on computer algebra, this book presents facilities available in three computer algebra systems - MAPLE, REDUCE, and SHEEP - for performing calculations in the algebra-intensive field of General Relativity. With MAPLE and REDUCE, two widespread general purpose systems, the reader is shown how to use currently available packages to perform calculations with respect to tetrads,...
