[Blind-international-students] introduction

Fri Jul 23 20:46:19 UTC 2010

Hi Ann,
I agree with Emran, Braille (Nemeth code ) is the best for math classes. I
will be taking calculus in the fall, so I asked the disability services
office at the university to convert the material for me.

"I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps
there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze
among flowers."
 Hellen Keller

Thanks.
Have a pleasant day!
Kind Regards and Best Wishes,
Noah Al Hadidi.

Hi Ann,

In order to interpret graphs, solve equations and comprehend
programming code, having the material in braille is most convenient
and understandable for me.
