I've updated my not yet approved package of mathomatic to the latest
upstream version.
http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/release/mathomatic/
(also via setup at http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/publ/cygwin/)
It has the wanted changes from Volker, for which it got a GTG,
and it has 2 votes.
http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/mathomatic.html?&cs=mathomatic:PN:0:0:0:0
finds only a PLD Linux distro, so it needs 3 more votes.
About: Mathomatic is a highly portable,general purpose symbolic math
program that can solve, simplify, combine, differentiate, integrate, and
compare algebraic equations. It can do standard, complex number, and
polynomial arithmetic. It is designed to be as general as possible, with
few options. It is a console mode application that compiles and installs
easily.
Changes: This release uses "memmove()" instead of the deprecated
"bcopy()". There are several improvements to the scripts in the "tests"
directory. Better modulus simplification and automatic approximations of
real^complex and complex^complex are new features in this release.

I would like to contribute and maintain the cygwin-port of the
mathomatic package:
http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/software/cygwin/mathomatic/mathomatic-11.3f-1-src.tar.bz2
http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/software/cygwin/mathomatic/mathomatic-11.3f-1.tar.bz2

This is the second attempt. In the first ITP with version 11.3d we only
talked about licensing issues, which are now solved, but I got no
reviews. Which is a shame, since it is such a simple package.

Sample:
; iterative root approximation equation:
x_n = x_o*((((y/(x_o^n))-1)/n)+1)
simp
repl x_n x_o with x
x
This is just the mathomatic console client from the mathomatic package.
Not distributed are the samples for prime number generation:
twin, sumsq, primes and around. If you want these also, get the src
packages and compile them by yourself.
maxima (on clisp) is also suitable and maybe better, but harder to install.
