\Ve describe tlie use of i t package of subroutines for jieiieral-rrlativistic algebraic computations written in the LISP-bascd algebraic programming system REDUCE developed by A N T H O S Y HEARX. The first group of routincs calculates concomitants of tlic metric tensor such as the Riemann tensor. Hicci tensor, Kicci scalar. Einstein tensor and Weyl tensor from jiiven covariant or covariant and contravariant metric tensor components. One of tliese procedurcs includes the evaluation of the Maxwell equations and invariants as well as the &laxwell energy momentum tensor. A second group of routines takes thc components of a null tetrad as input and evaluates the null frame projections of tlie Kiemann tensor, the Einstein tensola s well as -if rcquiretl -. the 1 4 local invariants of the Hicmann tensor. I t also includes it determination of the I'etrov type. I'crturbation c;ilculatioiis niay be perforriicd and run effectively.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
