Small Groups Library
The group theoretical computer algebra system GAP contains the "Small Groups library" which provides access to descriptions of small order groups. The groups are listed up to isomorphism. At present, the library contains the following groups:
- those of order at most 2000, except for order 1024 (423164062 groups in the library; the ones of order 1024 had to be skipped, as there are an additional 49487365422 nonisomorphic 2-groups of order 1024.);
- those of cubefree order at most 50000 (395 703 groups);
- those of squarefree order;
- those of order for n at most 6 and p prime;
- those of order for p = 3,5,7,11 (907 489 groups);
- those of order qn×p where qn divides 28, 36, 55 or 74 and p is an arbitrary prime which differs from q;
- those whose orders factorise into at most 3 primes.
It contains explicit descriptions of the available groups in computer readable format.

Famous quotes containing the words small, groups and/or library:
“Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. The power of invention has been conferred by nature upon few, and the labour of learning those sciences which may, by mere labour, be obtained, is too great to be willingly endured; but every man can exert some judgment as he has upon the works of others; and he whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of critic.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“It is the interest one takes in books that makes a library. And if a library have interest it is; if not, it isn’t.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
