Hi everyone, I am in need of a package to carry out computations in exterior algebra, differential ideals, and various aspects of the Cartan-- Kähler theorem.
I have used Jeanne Clelland's "Cartan" package for Maple[1] extensively, and I have been thinking about reproducing it in sage (with Jeanne's blessing). I am new to sage but very experienced in python and capable of producing an adequate solution for myself and my immediate colleagues. But, before I jump headlong into it, I was wondering whether anyone else working on similar packages. Basic functionality for alternating forms in a coordinate-free manner is the first infrastructure I'd be looking for, analogous to "difforms" in Maple, or the "Forms" package by Yu & Clelland [1].
