The point is, the deeper your knowledge is, the more elegant is the way you can represent it on a CAS. > You are saying that as soon as tensor thing is done , you can easily > implement relativity . > 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. > I basically need some project ideas to work on .
