+1 on what Pablo said -- Maxima and/or WxMaxima was what I was going to recommend (WxMaxima is not only a nice point-and-click interface for Maxima, it's also a good training tool -- if you try, you can use WxMaxima to train you up on the Maxima command line.)
Just as a warning: I've used both Maxima and Maple (the commercial 'replacement' for Maxima), and both of them will leave you unsatisfied if your expectations are too high. Both applications can reduce "easy" problems, but as you get to more difficult problems to solve, or if you're looking for specific simplifications, they fall down. You can push their usefulness further by using them as handy calculators for parts of your problem, or as a check on your work, but ultimately if the problem at hand is difficult enough there'll have to be some human neurons hard at work to find the solution.
