I hope this isn't too clueless a question: does this book require a lot in the way of high level mathematical knowledge? Every once in a while I run headlong into the doleful fact that I was deeply into mathematics all the way through high school ... and then became a reprobate, taking only one mathematics course in my arts-full college years (and not doing well because I had a "difficult quarter," emotionally, blecch).
This is something I need to address, but obviously it will take some time. I graduated H.S. in 1979.
So, in sum, am intrigued by the discussion of this book but want to make sure it won't be opaque to me (at least for the maths reason).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
