About Gap

GAP was created in 1986 by a group of mathematicians and computer scientists. It was developed to provide a tool for computational discrete algebra, with a focus on computational group theory. The system aimed to support research and teaching in abstract algebra by offering a programming language, algorithmic functions, and extensive libraries of algebraic objects.

GAP's strengths include its extensive library of algebraic functions, powerful computational capabilities in group theory, and open-source nature. Weaknesses are its steep learning curve for new users and limited support for non-algebraic computations. Competitors include systems like Magma, SageMath, and Mathematica, which offer broader mathematical functionality and sometimes more user-friendly interfaces.
