[Blindmath] Question about doing math in Notepad

[Ken Perry]

Just one comment here being with APH I have to point out while her Braille
display might be only 18 cells it is definitely a modern display.

Hi Dasha,

It is my understanding that even if you go to a private school for K-12, you

are eligible for public-supported special services.  Perhaps someone on the 
list knows more about that.

Second, I am aware that braille displays are very expensive.  On the other 
hand, they are very, very useful, especially so for deafblind people. So I 
would suggest that you investigate all possible sources of support for 
getting a larger and more modern braille display.

If you enter Nemeth math on your braille display and print it out directly 
as ASCII braille (also known as computer braille) without converting it to 
print, your sighted teacher should be able to read it using the information 
in this article I wrote.  Also if you would like for your math teacher to 
contact me, I'm happy to answer any questions about braille or braille math.

(I'm a sighted person, former high school chemistry teacher (among other 
careers) who taught myself braille and Nemeth braille as a volunteer 
activity after I retired.)

I am not trying to keep you from learning LaTeX.  I just don't happen to 
believe it is the best solution.  Other people on this list feel 
differently.

Sincerely,
Susan Jolly
