GAP - manual page for GAP - Groups, Algorithms and Programming Version 4.4.2
DESCRIPTION
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.
