Sorry, the Math formula editor, Math language, and Math objects are for markup
of formulas ONLY. There is no implementation of symbolic computation in the UNO
framework. 

You might find enough interest in a Python based extension that could parse
openoffice Math language into computer algebra--SymPy based perhaps--and
deliver results into cells on Calc worksheet. But it would be an extension,
unlikely TDF or the ESC would have any interest in expanding LibreOffice to
include Computer Algebra. Especially when there are so many commercial and FOSS
projects already active.

But IMHO, more useful would be direct LibreOffice support of MathML 3.0, as
well as full LaTex typsetting--but those are different enhancements.  

And, this issue should be limited to the AutoCorrect enhancement for Math
language entry.
