There are a whole bunch of challenging problems, though in many cases a half-backed trivial solution to the easy parts can be hacked together. You can see how Maxima packages do stuff related to piecewise definitions, periodic and oscillatory functions (esp. integrating) and see what Mathematica does. I wrote a paper on symmetric/ anti- symmetric etc functions and simplification.
