You can trace some lisp functions like
trace(?solve1)
and other functions in the solve code.
but you probably won't be able to correlate
what you see with what you were taught unless you
know some lisp.
I don't know about swotting formulas, but there are
programs for solving quadratics, cubics, quartics.
as well as factoring, inversion of some functions e.g. arctrig.
etc.
