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?
