Summary: Let \(G\) be a group which admits the structure of an iterated product of central extensions and semidirect products of Abelian groups \(G_i\) (both finite and infinite). We describe a Mathematica 4.0 notebook for computing the homology of \(G\), in terms of some homological models for the factor groups \(G_i\) and the products involved. Computational results provided by our program have allowed the simplification of some of the formulae involved in the calculation of \(H_n(G)\). Consequently the efficiency of the method has been improved as well. We include some executions and examples.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1195.68008].
