Sorry. My reaction was inappropriate.

While there wasn't a whole lot of math involved, there was a lot of theory and concept learning, and very little rote learning, if any (can't think of any off the top of my head, except maybe accounting).

Honestly, at the undergrad level, the sciences have a LOT of rote learning involved. Thus my struggle with o-chem: I understood the chemistry, but I couldn't memorize those stupid red-ox reactions. In my entire MBA program, I've not had to memorize much of anything (except for a few finance equations); it's all been conceptual thinking.
