Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation Rule V Clarification


 

The Braille Authority of North America (BANA) announces an addendum to the The Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation 1972 Revision, 2007 Update. This addendum provides clarification to Rule V­Type Forms, specifically:

Section 32.  Use of Type-Form Indicators with Letters, Numerals, and Compound Expressions


and


Section 33.  Use of Type-Form Indicators with Words, Phrases, and Mathematical Statements

 

This addendum may be found on the website of the Braille Authority of North America at http://www.brailleauthority.org. It does not change the existing rule and sections, but provides clarification to the language and examples used in the rule.

 

 

The mission and purpose of the Braille Authority of North America are to assure literacy for tactile readers through the standardization of braille and/or tactile graphics. BANA promotes and facilitates the use, teaching and production of braille. It publishes rules, interprets and renders opinions pertaining to braille in all existing codes. It deals with codes now in existence or to be developed in the future, in collaboration with other countries using English braille. In exercising its function and authority, BANA considers the effects of its decisions on other existing braille codes and formats; the ease of production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.
