What are some nontrivial things one could do with GAP? [closed]
1
$begingroup$
I'm learning algebra at the undergraduate level and came across the group theory software called GAP. Despite some googling I'm not sure what things one could do with such software that would really add to my understanding at my current level. I would appreciate pointers to study material or examples.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Seeking personal advice. Questions about choosing a course, academic program, career path, etc. are off-topic. Such questions should be directed to those employed by the institution in question, or other qualified individuals who know your specific circumstances." – Saad, rschwieb, Holo, Dietrich Burde
If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Maybe some of the examples: gap-system.org/Gap3/Doc3/Examples3/examples.html, gap-system.org/Doc/applications.html, gap-system.org/Doc/Examples/examples.html. Lastly, I'd search the documentation to see what this can do. I recommend learning a CAS because they make your learning experience much greater and varied.

The opportunity to play with examples and study implementations may help with the course - I've elaborated more on this in my answer here. If you are interested in GAP, please also see this answer, and also (possibly incomplete) overview of its capabilities on the GAP website.
