Program

• Start: Monday 26 August 2024
• Finish: Friday 30 August 2024

We are planning on having sessions covering topics such as “How to GAP?”, “How to Version Control for effective collaboration and GAP (package releases)?” and “A celebration of Graphs in GAP, 10 years of the Digraphs package”.

But we are looking for more talks, so please contact us via email and let us know if you would like to give a talk about your research! We welcome talks about computational mathematics research, which utilised GAP.

Detailed schedule

We will open with a meeting at Monday morning to coordinate plans for the week, and follow a pattern of “Standups” each day at around 9:00 and 16:45, to communicate what we plan to work on, and what we have worked on, respectively.

This schedule is subject to change.
