Physics related tutorials

[Furkan Semih Dündar]

Dear All,

My name is Furkan Semih Dündar.

I am a new member of the group and a physicist in Turkey. So I would like to contribute physics related tutorials to the Sage web page.

The topics may include classical mechanics (Lagrangian and Hamiltonian), quantum mechanics (matrix mechanics and the Schrödinger equation), General relativity (if I figure out how to do tensor calculus on Sage) and so on.

I downloaded the source code for the version 9.1 and compiled it last night on Fedora 32.

Are there any suggestions on how to organize the tutorials? For example should I open a separate topic on physics or include the physics related applications on math related topics? (For example classical mechanics in differential equations?)

Best wishes,

Furkan.

A good starting point seems to be https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/

There are already some tutorials with explicit examples there, see the
"Examples" section. If you have questions, you could also ask them on
https://ask.sagemath.org/questions/

It really depends on the content, i would suggest to first write the
tutorials you have in mind, and then see where they fit best
(sagemathfold webpage, wiki, thematic tutorials, homepage of some
lecture, etc).

Ciao,

Dear Thierry,

I was unaware of sagemanifolds web page. It already includes many decent GR related tutorials. When I was a MSc student I remember using Eric's lecture notes on 3+1 formalism in GR.

You are right, perhaps it is best to write the tutorials first.

Thanks for the advice.

Best wishes,

Furkan.
