It's been about 15 years[1] since I last spent a lot of time with Scheme, but yes. As others have mentioned, the author could've done a better job with variable names, and syntax highlighting would do a world of good, but the code itself looks pretty understandable.

If you're not using DrRacket, then please start using it. I learned what was then Scheme from SICP[2], but I've heard that the Little Schemer is perhaps a bit more approachable. Try starting with it[3].

[1] That moment when you realize it's been over fifteen years since you started college...Yeesh.
