Title: ------ LOOPS: Computing with quasigroups and loops in GAP Authors: -------- Gabor P. Nagy and Petr Vojtechovsky Bolyai Institute Department of Mathematics University of Szeged University of Denver http://www.math.u-szeged.hu/~nagyg http://www.math.du.edu/~petr/ Aim: ---- This package implements basic concepts of the theory of loops and quasigroups for the computer algebra system GAP. By using various permutation groups associated with loops and quasigroups, most calculations are delegated to groups. Libraries of small loops are provided. Distribution webpage: --------------------- http://www.math.du.edu/loops Installation: ------------- 1) install GAP version 4.7 or newer 2) go to the LOOPS distribution webpage and download the package 3) unpack the package into the pkg subfolder of your GAP folder 4) you should see the folder "loops" in the pkg folder 5) Upon starting GAP, load the package with LoadPackage( "loops" );
