I've been evaluating symbollic algebra/calculus packages the last couple 
of days.  Maxima embedded in Texmacs is extremely nice and almost 
exactly like Maple.  Plus you can use it in a shell or emacs.  It's 
great.

Of the alternatives, I might use ginsh for quick and dirty 
quick-homework-assistance similar to bc.  Axiom and Yacas I don't like 
so much but I haven't given them a great deal of attention.
