'''GAP''' ([[Group (mathematics)|Groups]], [[Algorithm]]s and [[Computer programming|Programming]]) is a [[computer algebra system]] for computational [[Discrete mathematics#Algebra|discrete algebra ]] with particular emphasis on [[computational group theory]].

==History==

GAP was developed at Lehrstuhl D für Mathematik (LDFM), [[RWTH Aachen University|Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen]], Germany from 1986 to 1997. After the retirement of J.Joachim Neubüser from the chair of LDFM, the development and maintenance of GAP was coordinated by the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the [[University of St Andrews]], [[Scotland]]. In the summer of 2005 coordination was transferred to an equal partnership of four 'GAP Centres', located at the [[University of St Andrews]], [[RWTH Aachen]], [[Braunschweig University of Technology|Technische Universität Braunschweig]], and [[Colorado State University]] at [[Fort Collins, Colorado|Fort Collins]].
