Thanks for the pointer, I just installed an old free version of
mupad(2.5) and it seems to do the simplification i want even if the
interface is quite clunky. I've already tried mathematica so I know
that it does what I want. Hopefully my uni will be able to get me
cheap educational copy of mathematica but I'll keep an eye out on
maxima
