[Blindmath] Nemeth code algebra, ttrig and calculus books for loan?

[Peter Wolfe]

Steve,



    I'm trying to see how the nemeth code will look like for
orientation purposes and for the pracctice in my rusty abilities in
math. I haven't done serious math in almost three years. I have a VR
counsuler and they are mainly only good in most cases with financial
support. With the down turn in the economy and my personal financial
restraints the other option would also be thrown out too. Looking at
someone transcribing for me is probably way way too expensive for the
normal blind college student. I also have a house with other debt
credit card issues and an apartment with utilities including a
dependent  brother as well. So, needless to say financial restraints
are a huge problem.
