Mathics

Mathics is broken up into a number of pieces in order to facilitate using the parts of you desire. This also reduces the vast number of dependencies to those that you need and the footprint to run. However if you want to run everything we have a docker container on dockerhub that has everything.

The pieces are described next with the components' OS and Python-package dependencies.

Mathics Core

The Mathics core is required for any work with Mathics.

If you are developing a non-interactive application written in Mathics, you may need no more than this.

mathicsscript

mathicsscript is a CLI client for Mathics. It features:

• GNU Readline terminal interaction. This includes
  • saving command history between sessions.
  • variable completion, even for symbol names like \[Sigma]
  • limited ESC keyboard input; for example ESC+p+ESC is π
• Syntax highlighting using pygments.
• Automatic detection of light or dark terminal background color.
• Entering and displaying Unicode symbols such as used for Pi or Rule arrows

The mathicsscript is github respository is here.

Mathics-Django

There is a browser-based webserver that has MathML-formatted formatted output using three.js graphics. The github repository is here.

It features:

• Extensive online documentation and interactive documentation via Ajax
• Integrated graphics and MathML mathematics output via MathJax and Three.js.
• Notebook-like sessions

To use this, you will need Django installed and a browser with JavaScript enabled.

For more information on how to install Mathics see mathics-development-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing .

Documentation for the Mathics system is provided in the PDF format (download the PDF). You can find internal documentation at mathics-development-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Use the mathics-users mailing list for discussions regarding using Mathics.

• Report a Mathics bug
• Code repositories for all the components and website live under the mathics and the Mathics3 GitHub organizations.

This project is only possible due the work of countless volunteers, which includes people who worked on software used internally by Mathics such as:

• SymPy
• mpmath
• numpy
• llvmlite
• Django
• MathJax
• three.js
• Asymptote
• SciPy (which also includes a number of the above)
