User Reviews

  • GAP is a truly marvellous advanced free software package but it can be tricky for non-expert users to install. Gap.app removes this barrier with a super-simple installation process for macOS. It also provides a handy visual interface, so that you can edit a GAP file as text in one window and see the result in a GAP window by double-clicking on the file name (or using Shift-Option-O to reread the last file into the workspace). Gap.app allows beginners to get started with GAP programming quickly and easily.
  • The combined installer conveniently ships GAP (free software computer algebra system, the reference when it comes to computing with groups) as well as Gap-dot-app. If you already have GAP, the smaller download of just Gap-dot-app can be pointed to it. The combined installer is updated for each major GAP release, and the Gap-dot-app interface itself gets improvements and bug fixes along the way.
