Hi Grant,

>Are you familiar with Michael Beeson's MathXpert (formerly MathPert)?

Yes, MathXpert-level mathematics is exactly what I had in
mind when I was talking about "high school mathematics".

The main difference between what MathXpert provides and what
I was asking for, is that MathXpert is about simplifying
expressions and solving equations, while what I was asking
for is also to establish whether some statement (equation
or inequality) follows from other statements.

I seem to remember that Michael claimed to me at some time
that MathXpert could do that kind of thing too without too
much extra work, but I would have to see how that would
turn out.

Another way to characterize this kind of "high school
mathematics" is reasoning about equationsa and inequalities
that have been written using the operations that are standard
in "Content MathML".

Of course the development of MetiTarski is all about this
issue too.
