Please examine the attached document with 9 examples of math and
science problems written in UEB, current Nemeth, and NUBS code. I am
interested in what you all think about it. There are 7 math and 2
science examples. I have attached both braille and print files of the
comparison document and a list of UEB symbols.
The UEB symbol list is a Braille 2000 file and the comparison document
is a BRF file. Let me know if you need a different format.
Thanks!
