Review text

The author gives 3 polyhedral models of the Boy surface (immersion of the real projective plane in 3-space) with 9 vertices and proves that these polyhedra (with one triple point) have minimal number of vertices and maximal symmetry. Coordinates, the combinatorial structure and a detailed description are given to build these models or to construct a computer model.
