Is there a java library that expand mathematical equations?

for example

(x – 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 9

i would like to output the developed form

x^2 + y^2 – 8x + 2y + 8 = 0

What you are looking for is called Computer Algebra System.

I just googled "Java Computer Algebra System" and the first hit was symja. I haven't tried it.

If this library is not appropriate for you then you find a list of CAS software on Wikipedia.

As @Justin points out, a related question is: Is there something like Sympy for Java?
