GAP [Computational Discrete Algebra]
Summary
GAP is a free, open-source computer algebra system designed for computational discrete algebra, with a particular focus on computational group theory. It provides its own programming language, thousands of built-in algebraic algorithms, and extensive libraries of mathematical objects, enabling researchers, educators, and students to study groups, rings, vector spaces, algebras, combinatorial structures, finite fields, and related topics.
Originally developed in 1986 through international collaboration, GAP has become a widely used tool in both mathematical research and teaching, offering powerful capabilities for symbolic computation, experimentation, and the exploration of complex algebraic structures while remaining freely available and extensible through numerous user-contributed packages.
