โฆ Synopsis
The Einstein tensor can be derived from the covariant metric tensor. However, if the metric components are complicated functions of the coordinates or the metric is not orthogonal then the derivation by hand can be quite tedious. In this paper a FORMAC program is described which provides automatic computation of the Einstein tensor.
