library documentation
Overview
Tensors, tensor fields, graphs, mesh manipulation, CAD and more on the basis of numpy.ndarrays. All objects keep track of their coordinate system. Symbolic math operations work for object manipulation.

Review of alternative/supplementary APIs
- sympy.diffgeom: https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/diffgeom.html - Symbolic differential algebra implementation. It is not yet covering a broad variety of functionality and is not so well maintained.
- Units: You can find a comparison of modules handling units here: https://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/python-units-quantities-packages - astropy looks best to our understanding but sympy would integrated nicer without an additional package.
