Ugh. I don't really understand the criticism of too much "heavy math" in SICP. The calculus involved is very basic. The rest involves infinite sequences and series, which are pretty fundamental to Computer Science. Really, students only have to have brushed up against derivatives and have a basic notion of what integrals are to complete SICP.The amount of "calculus" that SICP requires can be learned in a fun-filled afternoon.
