8458e112e7b2··on Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (1996) [pdf]
I would like to tackle SICP. I am a programming novice and would like to improve my skills.

The last time I did any kind of math that was more complex then simple operations was a long time ago and math was never my strong subject.

I have pretty much forgotten any kind of algebra, calculus etc I learnt. So assuming I know very little math, what is the best way/book/method to learn algebra/calculus etc to tackle SICP ? I would like to do that before I begin my SICP journey.

Any suggestions appreciated!!

Tangentially related to the topic but I am going to ask here since it seems to be trending. Based on this query and another topic that was popular a couple of days ago around SICP, here is my question:
