When I needed symbolic maths, I used https://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/ which is derived from the original Macsyma. It comes in a quite nice environment that does decent formatting (LaTeX style) of the output. I would recommend it (esp. if you want to stick with free/open source software).
