Is it possible to run and install applications made for unix (e.g.
Matlab, Mathematica, Cadence unix versions) on MAC OSX and/or Darwin?
Matlab and Mathematica have specific MacOSX releases. Naturally
they're not free, but I think if you're already licenced to use the
product it doesn't cost extra to get the MacOSX version. As others
have explained, you can't just take a Unix release and run it under X11
on Darwin - it has to be compiled for the specific processor
architecture.
The MacOSX version of Matlab is actually a fairly straight port of the
Unix version - the front end is Cocoa from what I can tell, but X11 is
used for the graphics engine.
You could experiment with Octave, a free and broadly Matlab-compatible
computation suite that runs in Darwin.
