Depends on the type of web application you are working
on. I work on bioinformatics and use the web to make
scientific data available, and so I need some matrix
and vector math when, for example, I need to make a
histogram plot of torsion angles (aka as solid or
dihedral angles) in a particular subset of aminoacids.
Check a simpler example at
metallo.scripps.edu/beta/hist, in that case is for
Metal-Aminoacid distances.

Not all web applications are biz-oriented, remember us
poor scientist too :-).
