I mean, maybe you should learn homology theory, but maybe you don't need to bother... There are several books on convex polytopes and polyhedra, so if a list of such books is what you were after, perhaps you should edit the question? | |

| Jan 24, 2010 at 14:51 | comment | added | Ali Dino Jumani | Joseph Malkevitch's own AMS monthly column "Euler's Polyhedral Formula: PartII" is also a nice elaboration in this respect; but naming the explicit set of tools will be helpful. | |
| Jan 24, 2010 at 14:12 | comment | added | Joseph Malkevitch | Assuming you have 3-dimensional convex polyhedra in mind look at Branko Grunbaum's book Convex Polytopes. For k-valent polyhedra (k = 3, 5, or 5), if I understand what you want, then there are some partial results going under the name of what are called "Eberhard Theorems." | |
| Jan 24, 2010 at 13:19 | comment | added | Ali Dino Jumani | Yes, Pete is right about its vagueness; my pupose is to count face vectors. | |
| Jan 24, 2010 at 12:53 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | -1: This question is prohibitively vague. What kind of "analysis" do you want to do? Your tag suggests that you want to somehow enumerate them, but the set of convex polyhedra is uncountable. | |
