[Tutor] is "fold" same as "reduce"?

This one was good. Of the 3, I found reduce a bit tricky to use though.

Just downloaded it. Am actually looking to pick up good functional
programming skills and apply
the same in Python. So am not sure if i have to start off with learning
haskell for that.

By the way the Scheme introduction talk (the link which you had sent
earlier) along with presentation slides was great.Especially the way, the
topic was presented was neat.
