grt: a package for GR computations in Mathematica
As there seems to be no up-to-date package for Mathematica 7.0 that performs GR computations, I wrote this little package. It's preliminarily called grtensor after the very useful maple package grtensor. It defines upper and lower indices in a different way though. In fact it does not share much with grtensor, except it computes all kind of tensors for a given metric.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Even though I tested this with a couple of known metrics, there are probably still a couple of bugs in there. If you find them, let me know!
