10:53 < mayuresh> a question; would i need to know "discrete mathematics" to start off on common-lisp in a serious manner?
10:53 < beach> No
10:53 < |3b|> no more than for any programming language
10:53 < |3b|> (which is probably not much)
10:53 < mayuresh> great, thanks. :)
10:53 < stassats> "none at all" works fine
10:54 < mayuresh> :)
10:55 < Shinmera> I'm curious as to how that question came to be
10:55 < beach> mayuresh: How do you plan to accomplish this "self training"?  Books?  Hacking on some project?
10:56 < mayuresh> primarily through books, and then start fiddling with GNOWSys in Lisp
10:56 < stassats> Shinmera: pathological fear of discrete math?
10:57 < Shinmera> stassats: Heh, but that still doesn't quite explain the relation to CL.
10:57 < stassats> better be safe
