Dear forum,

I'm exploring the exiting possibilities of the wonderful GAP and there
is quite a lot to explore there but...

How can I trust that everything GAP calculates is correct? I'm sure I
can't.
And then we're only talking about GAP. GAP has also been added to
another, much bigger, software package calles SAGE, where many
opensource packages and libraries can be used in one interface. But so
many libraries, so many programs, so many packages, this cannot all be
correct. There must have been programming mistakes leading to wrong
calculations.

But I would say that one cannot rely on it without recalculating
everyting, or is that preposterous? I hope that I may ask this here...

I wish you a nice day and am continuing to learn to use gap (and sage
too).

Lisette
