Abstract
polymake is a software tool designed for the algorithmic treatment of polytopes and polyhedra. We give an overview of the functionality as well as of the structure. This paper can be seen as a first approximation to a polymake handbook. The tutorial starts with the very basics and ends up with a few polymake applications to research problems. Then we present the main features of the system including the interfaces to other software products. polymake is free software; it is available on the Internet at http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/diskregeom/polymake/.
