+ + + +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 +references page. + +

"GR and the application of algebraic manipulative systems"

+barton and fitch; 6pages, 1971 +

+mentions tetrad formulation, some algorithms, develops motivation + +

"using camal for algebraic computations in general relativity"

+fitch and cohen, 8pages, 1979 +

+blah, doesn't look interesting, does have a table comparing various sytems + +

"the use of algebraic computing in general relativity"

+cohen, leringe, and sundblad, 18pages, 1975 +

+ +better than the above but mostly a review paper of contemporary systems + +

"Algebraic computing in general relativity"

+d'Inverno, 27 pages, 1974 +

+ +mostly "advice" on how implementations could/should be; lots of examples of +things to implement, could be good as unit tests + +

"Computer programs for calculating general-relativistic curvature tensors"

+fletcher, clemens, matzner, thorne, zimmerman; 2pages, 1967 +

+ +just a historical note? pretty trivial? + +

"Scientific computation and functional programming"

+karczmarczuk, 10pages, 1999 +

+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? + + +
