wxMaxima is a GUI for Maxima, a computer algebra system. Basically, wxMaxima + Maxima lets you type in various algebra statements, and it can respond with SYMBOLIC answers. So it can accept (x+4)^3=7, and then "solve for x". GPLv2.
LOTS of people use math, so this is a handy tool.

I use Maxima to address almost all of my symbolic computational needs. It is very powerful, full of features, and also free. While other alternatives (Mathematica, Maple) costs about $2000 (standard version) or $100 (student version), Maxima can be of great help for many people. It can do symbolic integrations, solve differential equations, graph functions and data, do linear algebra as well as arbitrary precision arithmetics.
Also, the installer is 22.4 MB. I strongly recommend this program to be on the disc.
soy estudiante de matematicas en una universidad latinoamericana. maxima tiene la gran virtud de tener un interfaz multilenguaje y de que se puede manipular de manera sencilla. es accesible para todos los niveles educativos desde el nivel medio, hasta posgrado.
