No, Racket is doing what Mathematica does.  Mathematica interprets the 
string as an expression written in Mathematica, just as Racket 
interprets the string as an expression written in Racket.

(Mathematica notation just happens to be closer to what math often looks 
like for very simple cases.)

If you want to use a different notation, you need a parser for that 
notation, and Racket includes tools for writing parsers.
