Polymake
polymake is a software for the algorithmic treatment of convex polyhedra. Albeit primarily 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, toric varieties and other objects. polymake has been cited in over 300 recent articles indexed by Zentralblatt MATH as can be seen from its entry in the swMATH database.
