I agree. Currently working through the book in Javascript [1], and there isn't a crazy amount of math. Newton's method in the first chapter was a little rough for me, but after that it's much more about exploring ways of representing data. (At least so far... I'm almost through chapter 2). 1. https://github.com/ahuth/sicp https://github.com/ahuth/sicp
