The CAMAL (CAMbridge ALgebra system) is a computer algebra system written at Cambridge University by David Barton, Steve Bourne, and John Fitch. It was initially used for computations in celestial mechanics[1][2] and general relativity.
The foundation code was written in Titan computer assembler,[3] [this reference is not correct and the pbworks material itself is inaccurate (srb)]. In 1973 when the Titan was replaced with an IBM370/85 it was rewritten in ALGOL 68C and then BCPL[4] where it could run on IBM mainframes and assorted microcomputers.[5]
