GAP in Algebraic Research

Summer School: Nov 19 - 22, 2018
RWTH Aachen University


The aim of this “summer” school is to give an overview over the research software available in GAP. The speakers will present their areas of research, the functionality that is available to investigate these areas computationally, and guide participants to familiarize themselves with these tools during the accompanying programming lab sessions. We aim to do 2 hours of programming lab session for each 1.5 hours of lecture time. No prior computational experience is needed. At the beginning of the school, Alexander Konovalov will give a GAP tutorial which will be based on the Software Carpentry lesson “Programming with GAP”.

The speakers are:
