There are real experts about this on this list, and I am not among them; but when I was teaching Calc 3/Linear Algebra I looked around for symbolic-math packages & found 3 to be highly regarded: Mathematica, Maple, and MACSYMA.  Each has its adherents, but MACSYMA is free, so the class used that.  It sufficed for our simple manipulations.

At wolframalpha.com try
Solve[(x^2+Log[y])^(1)==c,x]
and
Solve[(x^2+Log[y])^(1)==c,y]

Mathematica can express the output in many forms

FortranForm[expression]
CForm[expression]
TeXForm

alas, no JForm
