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

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 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 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.
