The Adams spectral sequence is one of the central tools for calculating the stable homotopy groups of spheres, one of the motivating problems in stable homotopy theory. This talk focuses on the E_2 page, which can be calculated algorithmically in a finite range but whose large-scale structure is too complicated to be understood in full. I will give an introduction to some features of the Adams E_2 page for the sphere at p = 3, and discuss an approach for calculating it in an infinite region. This approach relies on computing an analogue of the Adams spectral sequence in Palmieri's stable category of comodules, which can be regarded as an algebraic analogue of stable homotopy theory.
