Mathics
A free, open-source alternative to Mathematica
Mathics is licensed under GPLv3 and it's developed by an active community of volunteers. It's source code is freely available at our GitHub repository
Mathics is primarily a Python library, which means it can interact with other Python packages!
Mathics is built to work on multiple clients. The main ones are mathicsscript (a GNU-like CLI client) and mathics-django (a Django-based web interface). We're also working on a Jupyter kernel for Mathics
Mathics is broken up into a number of pieces in order to facilitate using the parts of you desire. This can also reduce the vast number of dependencies to those that you need and the footprint to run. The pieces are described next with the component’s OS and Python-package dependencies.
The Mathics core is required for any work with Mathics.
If you are developing a non-interactive application written in Mathics, you may no more than this.
mathicsscript is a CLI client for Mathics. Some of it's features include:
\[Sigma]
mathicsscript is a CLI client for Mathics. Some of it's features mathicsscript can be installed via PyPI.
If you prefer, as many do, browser-based interaction with nicely formatted graphics and MathML-formatted output, right now there is a Django-based PyPI package Mathics-Django .
Some of its features:
To use this, you will need Django installed, and a browser with JavaScript enabled.
