According to the system requirements[0] for MATLAB 7.5, it won't run on the XO laptop due to insufficient RAM (256MB present, 512MB required). In a perfect world, that would mean you'd pick an older version that runs on our hardware and consider open sourcing it, like EA did with the tremendously popular SimCity[1]. The latter made gamers around the world rejoice -- perhaps MathWorks could do the same for us math-heads; getting some real numerical analysis tools into the kids' hands would be awfully exciting.
