[font='Source Serif 4-4a4455f0c0723aad', 'Source Serif 4-4a4455f0c0723aad fallback: Arial', sans-serif, serif, Georgia, serif]Cadabra is an open-source computer algebra system (CAS) created by Kasper Peeters and designed specifically for advanced mathematical physics problems, especially classical field theory, quantum field theory, string theory, and general relativity. Unlike general-purpose systems such as Mathematica or Maple, Cadabra focuses on symbolic manipulation of tensors and field-theory expressions, supporting features such as tensor simplification, index symmetries, fermionic variables, Clifford algebras, Fierz transformations, and covariant derivatives.

[font='Source Serif 4-4a4455f0c0723aad', 'Source Serif 4-4a4455f0c0723aad fallback: Arial', sans-serif, serif, Georgia, serif]It uses an input language based on a subset of TeX/LaTeX notation, offers both command-line and graphical notebook interfaces, and can be extended through Python. Originally developed around 2001 for string theory calculations, Cadabra provides researchers with a tool that keeps mathematical notation close to how physicists write equations while automating complex symbolic computations.[/font]
