I skimmed that book to figure out how to convert formulas to procedures in Scheme for learning Spivaks Calculus and a few OCW math courses. Also picked up Doing Math w/Python from NoStarch press to see how other people do this, and to learn Python since I've never really used it. It was definitely awesome to debug logic errors in emacs of formulas I translated, it really does give you a structural interpretation of the material you are trying to learn by coding it all. End result is a library with clear procedures I can use for reference whereas I've already forgotten most of the notation I've learned over the years (SICM uses Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds similar notation)
