SICP is perfect for studying without a computer. I've done it that way and it was a great experience. However, while it is presented as an introductory textbook, it moves fast. It depends on the learner.
- db48x 10y agoHmm. The pages move only as fast as you turn them :) It's probably safe say that it's more concise than others that I have read. A sentence in SICP could become a paragraph in a lesser book.
- inimino 10y agoRight. In a classroom with lots of bright students and lectures and Q&A it works great. With access to supplemental online resources also great. With none of that I think it would depend on the student and their patience, aptitude, and background.
