I agree whole-heartedly. I work at a large company and I find I can typically formulate business rules in set and function theory in mathematic notation, which typically blows away my peers and associates because they either 1) know it and are impressed to see it used in "business rules" or 2) think it looks like some space-alien language (which it may as well be to them).
Otherwise these rules come out as a set of vague half-instructions that always lead to rounds of revisions in UAT. Oh, and "we only scheduled a week of UAT".
A broader knowledge of discreet theory would be much more helpful than understanding a sine or cosine at a... trigonometric level.
