 LinPy Examples
 ==============
 
-Creating a Polyhedron
------------------
-    To create any polyhedron, first define the symbols used. Then use the polyhedron functions to define the constraints for the polyhedron. This example creates a square.
+Basic Examples

 Welcome to LinPy’s documentation!
 =================================
 
-LinPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics.
+LinPy is a Python wrapper for the Integer Set Library (isl) by Sven Verdoolaege. Isl ia a C library for manipulating sets and relations of integer points bounded by linear constraints.
