In a previous article [in Proc. Canberra Group Theory Conf. 1989, Lect. Notes Math. 1456, 114-141 (1990; Zbl 0732.20032)]\ the author described a procedure which, for a finite rewriting system of a group \(G\), or even a monoid, yields a free resolution of \(\mathbb{Z}\) by \(\mathbb{Z} G\)-modules. A problem with that and similar constructions is the difficulty of explicitly computing the differential of the resolution. In this paper, the author presents an algorithm for computing the differentials in that resolution.
