If you are seriously working with tensors and you know what you are doing with them (meaning: you know differential geometry), you should try xAct (free package suite) or Tensorial (low-cost-high quality David Park's package with examples from continuous mechanics too) or TContinuumMechanics2 (a package by Jean-Fran=E7ois Gouyet that adds additional commands to Tensorial 4.0 for working in continuum mechanics) Worth mentioning is also the book: Continuum-Mechanics-using- Mathematica Links: XAct http://metric.iem.csic.es/Martin-Garcia/xAct/index.html Tensorial/TContinuumMechanics2 http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/TensorialPage.html Continuum-Mechanics-using-Mathematica http://www.amazon.com/Continuum-Mechanics-using-Mathematica%C2%AE-Fundament= als/dp/0817632409
