It is probably possible ("evaluation tracing" is the keyword to look
for) but most likely this is not what you want:
Mathematica usually solves problems in a way that differs very much
from the way that a human would solve them. With integrals, for
example, Mathematica may start by differentiating a very long and
complex expression and just try to match coefficients. Hence looking
at the individual steps is not going to tell you much unless you want
to debug/optimize Mathematica internals.
Best,
