Popis: This paper introduces the development of teaching materials for general relativity with the calculation practice of tensoranalysis. Studying general relativity once required to perform complex calculations by hand, but now, calculations can beperformed by computers. However, in the ordinary study of general relativity, computers are rarely used. We therefore try todevelop teaching materials with Maxima, a powerful computer algebra system, and also report actual educational practices.From our educational practices, we find that our teaching materials are useful for student who want to study generalrelativity quickly.
