> The lack of practical applications of "advanced" maths is a big problem.
I vividly remember self-studying calculus because I absolutely wanted to know how to find the area under a polynomial curve. I knew how to find areas of normal geometric shapes, but finding the area under the curve seemed like black magic that I _had_ to learn. If schools could somehow give this to students, there would be no need for "practical applications".
