\Mathics is a <url>:computer algebra
system:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_algebra_system</url>. It is a free, open-source alternative to \Mathematica or the \Wolfram Language. However, \Mathics builds around and on top of the Python ecosystem of libraries and tools. So in a sense, you can think of it as a WMA front-end to the Python ecosystem of tools.

\Mathics is free both as in "free beer" but also, more importantly, as in "freedom". \Mathics can be run locally. But to facilitate installation of the vast amount of software needed to run this, there is a <url>:docker image available on dockerhub: https://hub.docker.com/r/mathicsorg/mathics</url>.

The programming language and built-in functions of \Mathics tries to match the \Wolfram Language, which is continually evolving changing.

\Mathics is in no way affiliated or supported by \Wolfram. \Mathics will probably never have the power to compete with \Mathematica in industrial applications; it is a free alternative though. It also invites community development at all levels.

See the <url>:installation instructions: https://mathics-development-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/index.html</url> for the most recent instructions for installing from PyPI, or the source.

\Mathematica is great, but it a couple of disadvantages.

\Mathics handles relative and absolute uncertainty in numerical quantities. The <em>precision</em> or relative accuracy, is set by adding a RawBackquote character ('`') and the number of digits of precision in the mantissa. For example:
