Hi all,

I'm just geeting started with FriCAS, and have decided to learn by
working through a problem, as opposed to tackling the massive user
guide.

Basically, I want to be able to define differential (one-- and two--)
forms, and operations on them such as wedge poducts, covariant
derivatives etc. I really hope there is some kind of package or
resource (or example code) for this. If not, could someone begin to
point me in the right direction? It's a case of not knowing where to
start.

Cheers

Bill Page

One place to start is DeRhamComplex. Look for this domain by browsing
constructors in HyperDoc. Try the examples.

Regards,
Bill Page
