The most powerful free computer algebra systems are maxima and axiom. 
Maxima is more practically oriented; axiom requires a higher level of 
mathematical culture, but its design is extremely beautiful from the 
mathematical point of view.

By the way, TeXmacs interface to maxima is more advanced and reliable than 
to axiom (of course, if your platform is not Windows; under Windows, this 
interface is completely broken, and WinTeXmacs is very much out of date in 
general).

Just imho.
