[Blindmath] college and math

[Debbie Willis]

If you are interested in getting a book brailled, you may want to visit the American Printing House for the Blind's web site at www.aph.org.  APH maintains a database of accessible media producers (AMP); I think there are about 230 AMPs listed at this time.  Brailling a math book is generally rather expensive.  You may want to find a group who transcribes books on a volunteer basis, or you may want to consider audio access.

I am not a PHD student either, though I do hope that I am able to do a PHD
in economics.
I think that Mathematics can be done in class with out Braille. In India,
there are no resources for transcribing Math into Braille and I had to
devise ways to study with out it.
That said, I also believe that Braille would make any Math student's life
easier.

Regards
Roopakshi from India
