Well, math isn't "real world", so I'm not entirely sure what you refer to.

Unless what you're saying is they don't teach real-world examples of 
applying sufficient math to the real world to get real-world useful results? 
I.e., they cover math that's too simple to be isomorphic to the real world 
behavior of stuff? Stuff like (as your examples suggest) showing the fourier 
transform, but not how it works on a real noisy and non-infinite sample?
