I know this might not be so helpful for you, but I don't think it requires anything above a basic understanding of math. The "deepest" math was in the beginning, when it covered Newton's Method for square root approximation. SICP is used as the introductory CS text at many universities (Berkeley included) and has no official math prerequisites. I think you should try reading it first, and if you get stuck on a concept like Newton's Method, you can just read about it on Wikipedia. But otherwise, there was basically no math involved, except as simple illustrations. Good luck! It was a great text.
