The point is, the deeper your knowledge is, the more elegant is the way you 
can represent it on a CAS.

Yes, because abstract tensors implicitly contain the transformation laws of 
relativity theory (and other symmetries), and allow to write formulae in a 
frame-independent way. Actually, most of modern physics uses tensors. But 
it will take some time before tensors are ready for use.

A very simple idea: Lorentz transformations by 4 x 4 matrices.
