Hello people.

I am looking for freeware programs that can be used to do symbolic
mathematics (like integration, derivative, solving equations).

The same features are available in high-end ($$$) programs. One feature I
would like is a equation solver that allows for solving 'literal'
equations (like 'a*x+b' in variable 'b') - the feature is available in
Mathematica and Maple (the two tools I had access to).

I have tried SCILAB but it's more for numerical mathematics (i.e. more
like Matlab)

Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/

MUPAD Light(also with Scilab) http://research.mupad.de/

There are many other computer algebra programs, especially for Linux.

Hope this helps.

Have you looked at KyPlot yet? It's more a graphing program, but it
has a spreadsheet formulas can be allied to and solved:

I once wrote a symbolic calculator for doing non-commutative polynom
multiplication in Universal enveloping algebra of different Lie algebras.
That was in a previous life and ran on Russian version of mainframe
computers.

If anyone is interested I might rewrite it for PC.
