I too am interested in scientific applications of functional languages. In
particular, I have started to prototype my speech recognition algorithms
in Haskell.

Other than the FFT, I have not seen any scientific programming examples
done in the lazy functional languages.  So far, I have written a
spectrogram program in Haskell, and also a program for building a
hierarchical representation of a speech signal using dendrograms.
However, neither of these is quite ready for public consumption yet.

If you are not particularly interested in lazy languages, you should check
the Mathematica Journal or the Mathematica reference book by Stephen
Wolfam.  Mathematica contains a functional sublanguage, and the Journal
contains examples of how to use it to solve scientific problems.  Because
it's intended for mathematics, it doesn't have the nice terse syntax of
Miranda or Haskell; but its "prelude" contains a lot of math oriented
functions in addition to the usual take, drop, etc.
