Someone should make a big diagram, showing a variety of "cool things" that require math or which knowing the math helps to use, and the chain of math techniques and areas that lead to it - with granularity finer than "calc III".

Sort of like a Civilization tech tree, but for applications of mathematics. "If you want to do 3D graphics, learn this but also this which leads to this which leads to this."

That way students can say "I'm hating Taylor series but if I learn that I can use it in X" or "This is hard but if I get through it I can learn quaternions and do Y" or whatever.
