The appeal to solving real world problems

As a freshman undergrad, Alicia Rosburg knew that she liked math and had an aptitude for it - but she couldn’t envision how she would apply it to a career. A "light bulb" suddenly went off for her when she took Econ 101, and Alicia says she was "affected by the chance to use math to solve real-world problems."
