Main
polymake
is a tool to study the combinatorics and the geometry of convex polytopes and polyhedra. It is also capable of dealing with simplicial complexes, matroids, polyhedral fans, graphs, tropical objects, and other objects.
In this Wiki you can find the growing collection of documentation related to the mathematical software package polymake
