Mathics is a free, open-source general-purpose computer algebra system (CAS) with Mathematica-compatible syntax, written in Python. This original repository is archived; development continues as Mathics3 (mathics-core), with CLI (mathicsscript) and Django web interfaces.
Use cases
- symbolic math computations without a Mathematica license
- run Mathematica-compatible syntax in an open-source CAS
- interactive algebra and calculus from the terminal
- notebook-style math sessions in the browser
- teach computer algebra with free software
- script mathematical computations in Python
When to choose
- you need a free Mathematica alternative for symbolic math
- you want Mathematica/Wolfram-compatible syntax without licensing costs
- you prefer a lightweight Python-based CAS with CLI or web interfaces
When to avoid
- you need the actively maintained version - use Mathics3/mathics-core instead
- you require full Wolfram Language compatibility or advanced Mathematica features
- you need commercial support or guaranteed long-term maintenance
