>So... my business school covered all of that. Probability, statistics, linear algebra, diffeq... and yes, boolean algebra in the context of gradient descent. Even Markov chains and neural nets. Needless to say, there was a lot of math.
That's an incredibly rare thing. To date, the only systematic exception to the above rule I've encountered have been from certain European schools (mostly French: HEC, ESSEC, etc) that have a math-heavy prep-school curriculum to get in.
From what I've seen though, this is very much exceptional.

A subset of business schools are considered “quant” schools. These schools tend to be pretty high up in the rankings as their faculty often end up winning Nobel prizes.
