+I skimmed through a bunch of papers that I had looked up a couple months ago,
+mostly to see if any of them would be worth actually reading. Here are my 
+notes, there may be better links and more papers on the 
+<a href="../references.html">references</a> page.
+
+<h4>"GR and the application of algebraic manipulative systems"</h4>
+barton and fitch; 6pages, 1971
+<br /> <br />
+mentions tetrad formulation, some algorithms, develops motivation
+
+<h4>"using camal for algebraic computations in general relativity"</h4>
+fitch and cohen, 8pages, 1979
+<br /> <br />
+blah, doesn't look interesting, does have a table comparing various sytems
+
+<h4>"the use of algebraic computing in general relativity"</h4>
+cohen, leringe, and sundblad, 18pages, 1975
+<br /> <br />
+
+better than the above but mostly a review paper of contemporary systems
+
+<h4>"Algebraic computing in general relativity"</h4>
+d'Inverno, 27 pages, 1974
+<br /> <br />
+
+mostly "advice" on how implementations could/should be; lots of examples of
+things to implement, could be good as unit tests
+
+<h4>"Computer programs for calculating general-relativistic curvature tensors"</h4>
+fletcher, clemens, matzner, thorne, zimmerman; 2pages, 1967
+<br /> <br />
+
+just a historical note? pretty trivial?
+
+<h4>"Scientific computation and functional programming"</h4>
+karczmarczuk, 10pages, 1999
+<br /> <br />
+all quantum but the writing style is what i expect my cs/implementation section
+will look like. haskell. maybe a good bibliography to go though?
