==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 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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gap-system.org/Doc/History/history.html|title=Some history of GAP|website=Official GAP website|access-date=September 27, 2019}}</ref> 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]].; in April 2020, a fifth GAP Centre located at the [[University of Kaiserslautern|TU Kaiserslautern]] was added <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gap-system.org/Contacts/centres.html|title=GAP Centres|website=Official GAP website|access-date=SeptemberApril 2718, 20192020}}</ref>
