There's nothing wrong with Clojure as a language for such a project,
quite on the contrary. However, please keep in mind that both Matlab
and Mathematica contain enormous libraries of numerical routines
(plus symbolic computation for Mathematica). Creating the equivalent
from scratch, in any language, is a very ambitious project.
The closest Clojure-based project I know of is Incanter:
http://github.com/liebke/incanter/tree/master
Its model is R rather than matlab, but there are many characteristics
in common. Another projet to look at is
http://github.com/aperotte/persistentmatrix/tree/master
Its goal is the creation of a N-dimensional array implementation for
Clojure.
