I was initially considering it, only apparently it has stronger prerequisites than I thought at first. But will see.
EDIT: On third thought, some people are suggesting the initial CS background requirements may not be as tight, so maybe. Will be reading up on it more, (though possibly may also be busy during the months when the course would be taking place, so not sure)
The book is very clear, things are not out of order, notation is consistent, and with appendixes the prerequisites are pretty much HS math. So even if the course goes a little fast you should be able to catch up with some extra effort and won’t get lost.
Ah, so it doesn’t seem to actually demand much in the way of programming background? (ie, I don’t have to start out with a mental catalog of zillions of specialized data structures or anything like that then?)

Judging by the book this might be a steep climb but one without sudden dropoffs.
Mind clarifying? Thanks.

Awesome, thanks.
