[Blindmath] Your opportunity to influence the accessibility of acollege math course

[Michael Whapples]

I encounter similar issues to Amanda when viewing it on the Mac with VoiceOver. VoiceOver fails to see any of the matrices as tables and for each element it makes a noise indicating moving to another line.

As a slight hint for what might be going on, the tables used for the listings of code samples work fine and are seen as tables by VoiceOver.
