 This package enables Mathematica to carry out calculations with differential forms. It defines the two basic operations - Exterior Product (Wedge) and Exterior Derivative (d) - in such a way that: - they can act on any valid Mathematica expression
- they allow the use of any symbols to denote differential forms
- input - output notation is as close as possible to standard usage
There are two versions of this package: scalarEDCcode.nb and matrixEDCcode.nb. The first can handle scalar differential-form expressions only, while the second can also handle matrix- valued differential forms, i.e., matrices whose components are (scalar) differential forms. The matrix package, offering user-controlled application of trace identities and the Cayley- Hamilton theorem, can also be used for symbolic matrix calculations. The notebook EDC335Manual.nb contains many examples illustrating the use of the functions defined in the package.
