[Blindmath] college and math

[Lori]

Hi all,

I am a person who can't do math with out braille, but I am truly a 
tactile/kenesthetic learner and I realize that this is my preferred medium 
and other folks may have different needs and alternatives.


You might like to spend some time checking out GH Braille
