I'd consider linux, but I don't have linux licenses for Matlab or Maple and I have to interface to the corporate MS world. Thus my 'solution' will be to make a very light weight matrix class that only pulls in a few BLAS and Lapack routines coupled with a few file based routines with gnuplot as the output, or perhaps pathon _ gnuplot as the output. With any luck I'll be able to open source that, if it does anybody any good.
I have a wrapper for basic GNUPlot control: http://www.math.uni-bremen.de/~thielema/Research/GNUPlot.hs
After that I need to automate document creation from the output of math simulations. I'll use Latex as the engine for that. It's something I've done before to great effect.
lhs2TeX can be of help for starting Haskell computations and integrating the results into the document.
