I'll let the physicists answer the physics questions, but for this, it appears to be mostly cylindrical algebraic decomposition. We don't have that yet, but it is indeed something that we want to have. It's listed on our GSoC ideas page, so hopefully we will get a student to implement it. Raoul Bourquin pointed out to me on IRC that there is this implementation for Maxima: http://perso.univ-rennes1.fr/marie-francoise.roy/bpr-ed2-posted2.html. The rest of Reduce is apparently solving diophantine equations, which is also something that we currently don't have any support for, but would like to have.
