Is there are software package that does this? If I manage to compute the derivatives involved is there atleast a package that does the algebra part of it? </p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/83286/mathematical-software-for-chern-weil-theory/83288#83288 Answer by Igor Rivin for Mathematical software for Chern-Weil theory Igor Rivin 2011-12-12T21:38:44Z 2011-12-12T21:38:44Z <p>Yes, there are such things.See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_software" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_software</a></p>
