It is off-topic, but I'll field this anyway.

No. You need a version of MATLAB compiled to run on a Macintosh,
with MacOS X. This does not exist.

I've just been to the Apple Universities Developer Conference
(in Townsville, Australia) where this question was asked several
times.

Apple's answer is "contact MathWorks and ask them to do it".
More forcefully: it needs pressure from users to get them to
do the work. Apple wants it, as do many mathematicians/scientists;
but the message needs to get through to MathWorks Inc.

Contact them via their site:  www.mathworks.com .


Hope this helps,
