  Last year, I played around with a package called "mu-MATH / mu-SYMB". 
mu-SYMB was a symbolic language (something like LISP), and mu-MATH was
a symbolic math computation package written in mu-SYMB (source provided).
This small program performed quite well for equation solving.  I've been
using MACSYMA lately, and the flavor of the manipulations seems quite
similar.  I believe the cost of the "mu-MATH" package for the PC was about
$400.  I don't remember who was marketing it, or if it is available for other
systems.  A former work-mate had ordered the package through an ad in BYTE.
You should be able to find a reference through that magazine.
