[NRPy+](https://github.com/zachetienne/nrpytutorial)'s LaTeX Interface to SymPy (CAS) for General Relativity

- automatic expansion of
  - [Einstein summation convention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_notation)
  - Levi-Civita and Christoffel symbols
  - Lie and covariant derivatives
  - metric inverse and determinant
- automatic index raising and lowering
- arbitrary coordinate system (default)
- exception handling and debugging

## &#167; Installation

To install **NRPyLaTeX** using [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/nrpylatex/), run the following command in the terminal

    $ pip install nrpylatex

## &#167; Exporting (CAS)

If you are using Mathematica instead of SymPy, run the following code to convert your output

    from sympy import mathematica_code
    
    namespace = parse_latex(...)
    for var in namespace:
        exec(f'{var} = mathematica_code({var})')

If you are using a different CAS, reference the SymPy [documentation](https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/printing.html) to find the relevant printing function.
