	I have written a  convolution ( and by implication, polynomial 
multiplication, i guess ) script that is kind of a sig procc. building 
block, but i have not taken it any further then that. You would be more 
then welcome to it if u so desire!

	I cant speak to the symbolic algebra question other then to say 
that I have used gnucalc 2.02c ( a gnu emacs extension ) jacal ( which 
does not do integration! ) and maxima and found that maxima was the only 
package that met my symbolic processing needs ( which consists of fourier 
and laplace integrals, which are probably what u are after, if i dont miss 
my guess ).

	I have both octave and maxima on my machine and find that i use 
both about equally, because they have very complementary uses!
