polymake started out as a tool for the algorithmic treatment of convex polyhedra. By now it also deals with finite simplicial complexes, tight spans of finite metric spaces, polyhedral surfaces, and other objects.
The current version 2.3 (desert) was released January 23, 2007.

polymake was awarded the 2nd prize in the 2005 contest of the Heinz-Billing-Preis of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
