Detailed Description

Routines and classes for handling space and time, raum und zeit.

Traum is a collection of classes describing a spacetimes by the means of differential geometry to allow the computation of geodesics and other operations. The concept of a manifold with charts is inherited from the VecAl library and extended to an tangential space which homes tangential and co-tangential vectors, a metric tensor field and Christoffel symbols.

The design of Traum allows two approaches for numerical operations:
