polymake has been developed since 1997 in the Discrete Geometry group at the Institute of Mathematics of Technische Universität Berlin. Since 2004 the development is shared with Fachbereich Mathematik, Technische Universität Darmstadt.
It is designed for free, non-profit (primarily academical) use; see the Legal Disclaimer below.
with major contributions by
further support by
and by the former team members:
From 1996 to 1998 the polymake project was funded by the German Israeli Foundation (GIF), grant I-0309-146.06/93 of Gil Kalai, Peter Kleinschmidt, and Günter M. Ziegler.
A more detailed report on polymake is available. Additionally, we refer to a paper from the proceedings of the 17th ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry, 2001, Medford, MA.
Here is a BiBTeX entry with polymake references.
The polymake documentation available in print is pretty much out of date. As an intended remedy a book is being prepared, but there is no schedule for its publication yet.
