Mathics3 is an open-source Mathematica, a general-purpose CAS (Computer Algebra System).

However, this repository contains just the Mathics3 Kernel: Python modules for WL Built-in functions, variables, core primitives, e.g., Symbol, a parser to create Expressions, and an evaluator to execute them.

The home page for Mathics3 is https://mathics.org, where you will find a list of screenshots and components making up the system.
