[Blindmath] Performing calculations as a blind students, tips, tricks and advice for the NFB Youth Slam

[Amanda Lacy]

Pranav,

In physics, I write programs to work out the math and will likely do so in 
other STEM courses. During high school (my pre-programming days), I simply 
could not comprehend certain math because most humans have a tendancy to say 
what they don't mean and skip the small "unimportant" steps. Programming 
allows me to work in small increments
