Hello all, 
I am new to all this. My son Kees is a braille student, 18, he's just started Physics at the university of Utrecht, the Netherlands, and practically the first to do this over here. As you can imagine, we face a lot of challenges. One of them is, the faculty uses the software programme Mathematica, an algebraic calculator. Kees is not able to transfer this programme to his braille device. Does anyone have experience with this, or do you know similar software that does work with a braille device? 
Kees uses inftyreader to transfer pdf to LateX and is now learning to read this, but it is a slow process. Does it work better with human readable LateX?
Any other tips are most welcome. Physics and maths are absolutely Kees' talents, bur overcoming all these mountains can sometimes be demotivating. 
Thanks in advance, 
Elisabeth Blankhart
