GAP is a system for computational discrete algebra with particular emphasis on computational group theory, but which has already proved useful also in other areas. In the example text, gap is used to analyse Rubik’s Cube using group theory. A kernel implements a Pascal-like language.
The Small Groups Library is a catalogue of groups of `small’ order. This package contains the groups data and identification routines for groups of order up to 1000 except 512, 768 and groups whose order factorises in at most 3 primes.
