I'd rather see a SICP rewrite that lowers the barriers of mathematical pre-requisites. SICP is a great book but I found myself having to research calculus equations more than I'd like.
Appreciate someone else mentioning it. As a self taught dev, with pretty poor Math skills, it was frustrating hitting parts refering to some equation you are just supposed to know. Totally derailed my learning having to understand some random equation that wasn’t fully relevant
How To Design Programs covers some of the same ground. (It's also in a lisp)
As somebody who's always been strong in math, I agree. For the MIT crowd it can be a reasonable expectation, but in general an introductory course in Topic A should not require advanced & unrelated Topic B knowledge.
