Things like number theory
are interesting academically, but don't have a huge interest to industrial

I guess RSA public-key cryptography is not very important to banks,
the military, diplomats wishing to keep "cables" secret from
WikiLeaks, and little 'ol e-commerce sites like Amazon.com. ;-)
The applications of number theory are useful, but I don't think most industrial
companies need to use number theory software since they are not doing any
research in that area.
They need to plot graphs, do statistics, do FFTs, and depending on the field
read from instrumentation with GPIB as someone pointed out. The GPIB bit is one
thing Sage does lack, and might attract some engineers. However, I don't know of
many people who write their own software for GPIB tools - they get them with
packages like Labview.
