GAP SYSTEM

GAP is a system for computational discrete algebra, with particular emphasis on Computational Group Theory. GAP provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic algorithms written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects... GAP has been and is developed by international cooperation of many people, including user contributions. We gratefully acknowledge all this help as well as some funding. GAP was started at Lehrstuhl D für Mathematik, RWTH Aachen in 1986. After 1997 the development of GAP was coordinated in St Andrews. Since March 2005, the GAP Centers in Aachen, Braunschweig, Fort Collins, and St Andrews took over coordination. They were joined by Kaiserslautern as fifth GAP center in 2020. Since July 2022, the GAP center in Kaiserslautern is coordinating the further development and maintenance of GAP.
