For multiple-precision stuff, there's a list in netlib, under
"c/free-c".  For information on accessing netlib:

For general symbolic mathematics, there's a newsgroup called
sci.math.symbolic, and a list of software maintained by
deso...@math.berkeley.edu (Paulo de Souza).  His list refers to files
in the directory pub/Symbolic_Math in the anonymous FTP of
"math.berkeley.edu".  There's a bibliography there, too.
