## How to Cite `polymake`

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The `polymake` documentation available in print is pretty much out of date.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.
