When I was a senior in HS I audited a Linear Algebra course at Queens College. Back then (1972) they used a textbook that took a very geometric approach to linear algebra. I still have the book (Elementary Linear and Matrix Algebra: A Geometric Viewpoint by Moore). Obviously they changed that. > We don't all study the same math curriculum.

FWIW, I did study both difference formulas and lognormal distributions, but not Black-Scholes. But of course Black-Scholes is more of a financial application of math than a math topic on its own.
