Well, no. You of course need to learn some basic things. But most formulas are just convenient short-cuts that you can derive in 30 seconds or so. At least that was true for most of the math courses at University level. Of course you have to understand the basic principles and how to use them. But the amount of details you have to learn by rote learning is not so big.
