+Cadabra is a symbolic computer algebra system (CAS) designed
+specifically for the solution of problems encountered in field theory.
+It has extensive functionality for tensor computer algebra, tensor
+polynomial simplification including multi-term symmetries, fermions and
+anti-commuting variables, Clifford algebras and Fierz transformations,
+component computations, implicit coordinate dependence, multiple index
+types and many more. The input format is a subset of TeX. Programmable
+in Python. Both a command-line and a graphical interface are available.
+
+Optional runtime dependencies are matplotlib, mpmath, and sympy.
