These are questions asked by larry stead

please see maple attachment below.

btw, what i'm really trying to do is represent spin 1/2 states, along with the usual spin operators, and be able to take tensor products of the spin states. any hints on how to do that would be greatly appreciated. 

btw, the physics package is amazing! 

thanks,

Hi,

 

I'm new to the physics package - wondering if i can tweak it a bit to look like things i'm used to:

 

is there a way to make Christoffel symbols print as upper case gamma, instead of  'G'?

KroneckerDelta print as lower case delta, instead of 'd'?

 

can i make the Schwarzschild metric look like it does in Hartle, Carroll, and others:

 

-(1 - 2M/r)dt^2 + (1-2M/r)^-1 + r^2(dtheta^2 + sin(theta)^2 dphi^2)

 

i know about setting the signature in Setup.

i have tried the 'Coordinates' command, but when i give it X=[t,r,theta,phi] i always seem to get back

[t,r,q,f]

 

i am running maple 2016

 

many thanks,

larry
