Also try a legacy program (not written by me):

First we have mathomatic, quite good in symbolic algebra, but not so 
good as maxima or maple. At least it the simpliest to install and use.


Then we have singular, a very good symbolic algebra package.

maxima, the best, can be easily installed on top of clisp.
See http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2001/000871.html

PariGP can also be easily built with cygwin - I have my private versions 
somewhere - and can obviously also do some integration. Its strength are 
numbers.


The other symbolic math packages described at 
http://www.derekroconnor.net/Software/Software.htm we don't have.

not sure if qalculate will compile or meet your needs, but it may be
worth a look

mathomatic might do what you need.

Maxima? I'm almost sure it's not in the cygwin distribution itself,
but have heard about packages forcygwin floating around (it's written
in common lisp and there is at least clisp in cygwin.
