I get similar impression from other side. I have met stanford phd having very poor math background. Yes it is true but unbelivable.

I think the problem is with higher education system not the hype.

Standford/cmu should make their degree more rigorous.

I am sure if cs231n include fisher vector in their course and some maths derivation in their assigment,the number of student would drop logarithmically :)
