You can evaluate expressions like this right now in core.matrix if you 
don't mind Lisp notation:

(use 'clojure.core.matrix)
(use 'clojure.core.matrix.operators) ;; override +, -, == etc.

(def x [1 2 3 4 5 6 7])
(def y [0 1 2 3 4 5 6])
(+ x (sin y))
=> [1.0 2.8414709848078967 3.909297426825682 4.141120008059867 
4.243197504692072 5.041075725336862 6.720584501801074]

To enable this to handle regular infix maths expressions, it should be 
fairly easy to layer an Instaparse parser on top of this.

Also, one of our newly accepted GSoC students (Maik Schünemann) is looking 
at a library for expressing, manipulating and evaluating symbolic maths 
expressions. Some initial experiments here:

https://github.com/clojure-numerics/expresso

Once this is complete, it should be possible to simply such expressions, 
compute symbolic derivatives etc.
