The complicated nature of calculations in general relativity was one of the driving forces in the early development of computer algebra (CA). CA has become widely used in gravity research (GR) and its use can be expected to grow further. Here the general nature of computer algebra is discussed, along with some aspects of CA system design; features particular to GR’s requirements are considered; information on packages for CA in GR is provided, both for those packages currently available and for their predecessors; and applications of CA in GR are outlined.

重力研究中的计算机代数



广义相对论计算的复杂性是计算机代数(CA)早期发展的驱动力之一。 CA 已广泛应用于重力研究 (GR),并且其使用预计将进一步增长。这里讨论计算机代数的一般性质,以及 CA 系统设计的一些方面;考虑了 GR 要求特有的特征;提供了有关 GR 中 CA 软件包的信息,包括当前可用的软件包及其前身软件包;并概述了 CA 在 GR 中的应用。
