Yes. You can use MathLink, Mathematica's inter-application
communication protocol, to call Mathematica from within
your own programs or to call external programs from within
Mathematica.
The Wolfram Research Web pages have more information about
Mathematica and MathLink, specifically:
http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/info/mathlink.html
I would also suggest that you look at Todd Gayley's MathLink
Tutorial, available on MathSource, Wolfram Research's
electronic library of Mathematica materials:
0206-693: A MathLink Tutorial
Todd Gayley
This tutorial supplements the material in the MathLink
Reference Guide. It covers all aspects of MathLink
programming, especially topics that are treated very
briefly or not at all in the Reference Guide. Topics
include: passing lists and arrays, error handling,
using C++ and FORTRAN, graphics, packet types,
troubleshooting, etc. This tutorial supersedes any
other MathLink documentation by the author.
MathSource is accessible by email (mathsource at wolfram.com),
by anonymous ftp/gopher (mathsource.wolfram.com) and by
World Wide Web (http://www.wolfram.com/MathSource.html).
I hope this helps.
