Abstract
In this paper we present a short overview of the new Wolfram Mathematica package intended for elementary "in-basis" tensor and differential-geometric calculations. In contrast to alternatives our package is designed to be easy-to-use, short, all-purpose, and hackable. It supports tensor contractions using Einstein notation, transformations between different bases, tensor derivative operator, expansion in basis vectors and forms, exterior derivative, and interior product.
