This is more of a university perspective, but...... > Are there any "math for people who just want to use it" tracks in math pedagogy It's called Industrial Engineering /s (but only kind of) It is tame as compared to a pure math or physics B.S. But, you pretty much cover the gamut of every math tool that is useful in the real world. From stats, supply chain, search, calculus to combinatorics and so on. Each concept is squarely grounded in a field where it is used. I was surprised at how well my mechE (usually the closest undergrad degree to Industrial) degree prepared me for applied math and ML coursework for my CS masters. In comparison, a lot of CS undergrad peers struggled in those courses.
