Abstract
GAP is a system for computational discrete algebra, which provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic algorithms, written in the GAP language, as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects. Some chapters of this book—especially the number-theoretic and cryptographic ones—use GAP to illustrate the main ideas. In this chapter we provide the readers with the GAP basics sufficient for them to understand the calculations in the text and to solve exercises.
