In case you are willing to invest time into a free CAS, and in case you like
MuPAD's approach to computer algebra (i.e., types), then you might want to
consider Axiom + Aldor.

I'd like very much, I generally prefer free software. But,
unfortunately, Axiom looks absolutely dead for a non-programmer. Too
few developers, and looks like the developers produce forks, not
code... I very much may be wrong, but the situation doesn't look
healf :-((((

For MuPAD, as a closed program, I may think that something goes on
inside the deleper group. With a free program, things goes online...
For example, I think one of the most basic thing users may expect from
free developers is producing a good deb package. And the debian
package version is 20050901 :-( And 3 forks :-(
Only because of this I think on MuPAD.
