In college we had to take 2 advanced Math courses beyond Differential Equations. The problem: they were taught by the Math department, which means they were taught by math geeks.

They expected that you remembered every stupid math trick taught since kindergarden. The Quadratic equation is burned into ROM, but a bunch of the math tricks taught in geometry? no.
