[Blindmath] Accessible materials

Hi all,
I am Lucas from brazil, and I study computer science here.
My biggest problem is that I think I am the only blind person related
with mathematics in a university course in my country. I may be wrong,
but I have been searching others for 3 years and never found them.
I was introduced to LaTeX in my first year by my computer teachers,
which always try to creat their materials in that format. So I just
read the source code or convert into HTML, and I am able to read the
notations of boolean algebra, algorithms counts, etc.
The problem is that my math teachers don't use LaTeX. They just follow
regular books, which you can find in the library of the university.
I had a lot of friends that recorded the books in audio formats for
me, but now I am developing a project to turn the material accessible
at all, for people who also wants to do the same course that I am
doing.
Do you have any free material or paid, which is accessible, of
calculus, linear algebra, etc?
Could be html, mathml, LaTeX source code. I am going to do a test in
two years in order to apply to a mastery, and I would like to have
this kind of material to study what I have forgotten.
Talking about computer books, I also would like to know if there is
any accessible source of computer science books. I started studying
operational systens and networks, and I can't find something that is
useful for me. My teachers are not writting their own materials in
LaTex, they are using normal books.
Thank you all, and sorry for my bad english.
