Thank you for the comment! I think I should look into some complementary resources in parallel to SICP after having read your insight :)

Thank you for the valuable insight. I really am in the same boat regarding SICP.

> CS from MIT's 6.042J Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out. I think that having a better understanding of math would surely help me out in the process of going through SICP.

> i don’t think it’s that you’re dumb, i think it’s that you’re missing background knowledge the author expects, so it will take more time for you to understand.

I really do hope it's the case :). But regarding missing background knowledge the author expects it is definitely true!

Thank you for replying and I wish best of luck with your efforts!

Thank you, I appreciate your opinion. I very much feel that the journey has been very painful, yet rewarding in a sense. Also, as much as I tend to say my memory is bad, truly a lot of concepts have stuck with me from the first chapter even when it's more than a month since I have learned about them. Probably it's due to the fact that SICP going forward has been continuously building on the previously attained knowledge.

Thank you again!

Thank you very much for the comment. I will contemplate my decision when it comes to formal education. Also what I particularly found intriguing is "You don't have to pursue a degree, but some formal education might actually help you." It's true that studying college from start to finish is not the only option.
