I use pari-gp (1.37.3). Compiles easily.
It's better at algebra than integration. In fact, it treats all transcendental
functions as power series. This is OK numerically, but not for calculus
homework.
maybe Maple will offer a linux version - maybe a linux Student version - or
maybe let us borrow the code...
