This proposal would be fine but for one problem. We do not have anyone in todays colleges or universities who can take the theoretical math and apply it to any practical application. Students are not being shown what the real live practical applications of math can do.

Students are not being shown what the real live practical applications of math can do.
Other than job specific requirements, what other applications of math are there in life other than simple arithmetic?
