[Blindmath] accessible math websites

[Neil Soiffer]

If you are willing to deal with TeX, take a look at Wikipedia.  The images
use TeX as the alt text.  Unfortunately, TeX is pretty cryptic for actuarial
notations.  For example, "a angle n i" is represented as
"a_{\overline{n|}i}"  Take a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuarial_notation
and see if it is understandable.

For more basic concepts (such as Algebra I and II), there are sites such as
www.onemathematicalcat.org that use MathML and are accessible via MathPlayer
with JAWS.
