Thanks a lot Olivier, this works perfectly for Maxima.
I can ask it to compute \frac{\partial x^{2}}{\partial x}=2\, x and
it works as it is shown by the = sign but how to ask more indirect
tasks?
Question: How to pass commands to Maxima? Should we write full Maxima
expressions, instead of the standard math notation? In SWP there is a
Computation menu where it is possible to choose the operation that we
desire (simplify, evaluate, etc.).
