Abstract

polymake is a software package designed for the study of the combinato rics and the geometry of convex polytopes and polyhedra. It offers access to a wide variety of algorithms and tools within a common framework. As a key design feature it allows to incorporate the functionality of a great variety of other software packages in a modular way. polymake is open source software; it is freely available on the Internet at \url{http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/diskregeom/polymake/}. AMS Subject Classification (2000): 52-04 (52Bxx)
