[Blindmath] Colllege calculus Questions

[qubit]

No one is going to fault you with being proactive in getting the things you 
need for your classes.
Are you a proficient braille reader?  would you be interested in learning 
latex to produce the math that your instructor requires for homework?
There are many solutions but nothing universal has yet been produced as a 
standard for blind access to technical books. However there are people on 
this list who I'm sure will give you many avenues to look into.
I majored in math and computer science when I still had some vision and 
could read magnified print.  It is a whole different world if you have to do 
it only in speech and braaille.
I tutored all the way through college. It has been a while, but if you run 
into any calculus or linear algebra problems that you can't solve, feel free 
to email me privately and I'll see if I can help.
Happy reading.

To Blind NFB Math e-mail list members and others:


    My name is Peter, who is a sophomore at a major four year
university in the south eastern portion of the U.S.A. My major is
going to be computer science with no minor picked or needed at this
point in the game right now. I've only taken precalculus at my former
college and forgot all of it now. I've ordered nemeth code, algebra,
trig and a calculus book from NLS but with no luck after threee weeks
for nemeth code and my pen commandments book. I've heard from a
professor in Massachusetts and from a government institution that RFB
and D can help me out with math and science in audio. I've not been
blind for most of my life, so I want your take on my situation on what
is the most affective way to learn calculus I, II, and III with linear
algebra in a college level being blind? I don't read print and use
Window-Eyes version 7.2. I have a talking scientific calculator and
have about two more months till the fall semester and might have a
tutor for the fall if I need one. Thanks for any help you can suggest
or whatever.
note: any arrogant NFB people don't comment cause I won't listen to
anymore rude and arrogant NFB members claiming that others are either
lazy, inferior or whatever your egomanics think of yourselves cause at
one point we have had all help at one juncture in our lives in this
respect.

gracias,
Peter Q. Wolfe, AS
