Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Having practical applications for higher math makes that shit stick like glue when otherwise it would get forgotten immediately after the test.
They’re getting downvoted because there’s a lot of esoterical people demanding that we learn stuff either for the joy of it (which many are not at all having btw) or because it “purifies character” or sth.
Practical applications are felt like an impurity to that.

Apparently knowing people learn differently and that mathematicians are a tiny minority is neoliberal…
