1. If you were to use Maxima directly, you could probably teach it, by pattern matching, or other techniques, to do some set of cosine transforms. This would probably be far more economical of your time, and would give you interesting insights into how a very powerful symbolic mathematical manipulation system is constructed.
2. If you don't really have a personal need for cosine transforms (which seems to be the case) but just want to to something symbolic- math related, there are many possible program projects that could be done in Maxima, either using its "high level" language, or Common Lisp. 3. The program by Manuel Bronstein (PMINT) already exists in Maxima code, and so incorporating it into Sage would be as simple as loading it in to the Maxima image that already accompanies Sage. I hope you have a good summer.
