It doesn't take years of study. Those are mostly fairly basic linear algebra and calculus questions. You could learn enough to understand the basics by watching some khan academy videos.

You're assuming a solid understanding of pre-calculus math. It might well take 2+ years for people with no exposure to proofs, or who have a weak foundation in elementary algebra.
