First, there is the Mathematica Player that will run Mathematica code without an installation of Mathematica. For details see Wolfram's web site. The other option would be export expressions as either CForm or FortranForm and use the appropriate compiler to create a stand alone executable. But be aware what can be done in this manner is limited. Expressions consisting of operations that have a direct analog in either C or Fortran can be exported in a form suitable for an external compiler. But specialized functions, such as say Integrate cannot be exported in a form useful to an external compiler.
