For reinventing the wheel...the best candidate for copying is WMI (uses 
maxima) http://matek.hu/ which is kind enough to give its src code away 
for free, unfortunately its PHP and I haven't had anyone who knows 
enough about PHP & Ruby to help me figure out what i'm doing wrong:

Here is the PHP: http://pastie.org/380232

Thanks Tom for the Idea, i found an article about converting ruby code 
to lisp here: http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/LispInRuby.red
so calling commands naively may be a good work around.

I also discovered Sage an open source math program written in python 
http://www.sagemath.org/ I haven't done anything with python before, but 
I have some friends who rave django, so it may just be easier to go that 
route. Either way I'll let everyone know what ended up meeting my needs.
