What is gap-alnuth

gap-alnuth is:

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 is used in research and teaching for studying groups and their representations, rings, vector spaces, algebras, combinatorial structures, and more.

Alnuth is a package for algebraic number theory and a GAP interface to PARI/GP by Bjoern Assmann, Andreas Distler, and Bettina Eick.
