This work slots into a larger picture of attempting to constrain gravity using cosmology. This project will include the following activities: 1) Understanding and applying multiple theories of gravities, and parameterised gravitational formalisms in order to obtain the best theoretical constraints on gravitational waves from binaries. 2) Employing computer algebra to compute, simplify and interpret complex algebraic expressions.
