The mattens package for vector/tensor typesetting Author: Danie Els Copyright (c) 2001-2004 Danie Els Licence: LaTeX Project Public License DESCRIPTION =========== The mattens package contains the definitions to typeset vectors and tensors as used in the engineering community for the representation of common vectors and tensors such as forces, velocities, moments of inertia, etc. This package adheres to the well-defined and documented notation as proposed by Hassenpflug[1,2]. 1.

It shows some of the applications of the vector/tensor notation. readme_sampl Read-me file for the compilation of the MTsample document and graphics. rotate.(mps/ps) Graphics file (MetaPost output). transrot.(mps/ps) Graphics file (MetaPost output). mphead.tex MetaPost (for latexMP packages) input header. rotate.mp MetaPost source file. transrot.mp MetaPost source file. MPfig.bat Dos batch file for compilation of MetaPost graphics files. See "readme.sampl". BASIC INSTALLATION ==================== The minimum requirement to use the package is the to have mattens.sty in a directory where TeX can find it. For a basic installation on a TDS compliant system, move the following files to the following directories: /tex/latex/mattens/ mattens.sty /source/latex/mattens/ mattens.ins mattens.dtx /doc/latex/mattens/ readme mattens.pdf MTsample.pdf
