[Blindmath] hydraulic full screen braille display

[Peter Wolfe]

Ryan and or others:



    Good some contribution to what I had to say for once about
something with substance. Can you backup your claim? Give us an
example of your matrices. I'm not sure what a matrices would be or
anything at all for that matter. I guess you are refering to a matrix
by chance? Also, my understanding of calculus with Derivatives and
integrals have functions and these are for acceleration and velocity
with surely other process in a four quadrant x, y and etc. I'd like to
see what you can do in a one to four line display in braile and
especially just a one line display that will be comprehendable to you
in the long run. I remember when I took precalculus I had problems
that on print would take up nearly a page or page and a half with a
calculuator with sighted assistance with the visual aspects of the
beast. Surely you could enlighten us all on your method?
     I think the best way of doing mathematics of the advanced level
is to see it all in one point going down as you go latterially. I
cannt see that horizontally at all other than standard mathematics at
all. I'm confused to what you mean and who could properly teach such
methods to anyone in a understandable way. I'll find out when I
actually take the classes right? This is conforting to someone who
likes to be prepared for everything on the ground running. I mean I'm
just confused to what aspects are visual and what aren't and from what
I've heard from mainly sighted people that it's got lots of   room for
interpretation of graphs wit connecting two or so things to make up a
unique answer to this issue. How could that be done in another format
translated and you create a solution with your answer? Thanks for
further information you can shead on this crutial issue.

sincerely,
Peter
