DifferentialGeometry is a Maple software package which symbolically performs
fundamental operations of calculus on manifolds, differential geometry, tensor
calculus, Lie algebras, Lie groups, transformation groups, jet spaces, and the
variational calculus. These capabilities, combined with dramatic recent
improvements in symbolic approaches to solving algebraic and differential
equations, have allowed for development of powerful new tools for solving
research problems in gravitation and field theory. The purpose of this paper is
to describe some of these new tools and present some advanced applications
involving: Killing vector fields and isometry groups, Killing tensors and other
tensorial invariants, algebraic classification of curvature, and symmetry
reduction of field equations.Comment: 42 page
