In the Internet I have found the article about the VEST package for abstract vector calculus simplification in Mathematica. http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.2561 However, I can not find any reference for downloading this package. Does anybody know where I can download this package?

$\begingroup$ Why don't you send an email to the authors and ask them? Most likely you won't get an answer here. If you contact them, you will. $\endgroup$– SzabolcsCommented Dec 21, 2013 at 16:04

$\begingroup$ I have already sent, but to be on the safe side I decided to ask here too. Maybe someone have already faced this problem and know the answer. After all, if I find the answer I will share it here and I hope it will help someone in the future. $\endgroup$– Stepan LoginovCommented Dec 21, 2013 at 16:17

$\begingroup$ Sounds good, do post the answer if you find out. $\endgroup$– SzabolcsCommented Dec 21, 2013 at 17:00

2$\begingroup$ It can be downloaded here if your institution is a subscriber to Elsevier's Computer Physics Communications. $\endgroup$– Sjoerd C. de VriesCommented Dec 21, 2013 at 21:22

Sorry about this, I was under the impression the CPC library was available to everybody. I tried to upload the code to arXiv but it didn't work, so the Mathematica package and a tutorial notebook can now be found on ResearchGate or github. Hopefully I can set up a more convenient spot for people to download the package soon.

$\begingroup$ Possibly using some extra function definitions on top of the the basic functionality. However, the requirement of general n (vector size) might be a little problematic, since VEST is essentially set to be either 3 or 6 dimensional. $\endgroup$– jonsqCommented Apr 28, 2014 at 14:14
I finally found where to download this package. http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/AEQN_v1_0.html But it is free only if your institution is a subscriber to Elsevier's Computer Physics as Sjoerd C. de Vries mentioned above.

7$\begingroup$ Sounds like yet another reason to avoid Elsevier as much as possible. It is bad enough that aggressive for-profit publishers hold control of so many articles and actively try prevent access to them by those who don't pay. It is completely unacceptable that the same would happen to software libraries as well. $\endgroup$– SzabolcsCommented Dec 22, 2013 at 20:00
