[Blindmath] Homework for College Class

[Tim in 't Veld]

Lanie,
LateX is the standard for producing mathematical documents on many 
universities. I highly recommend you learn it. Unlike some self invented 
shorthand lateX allows you to express any mathematical expression 
unambiguously. LateX will also benefit you when you are writing a thesis 
because you'll be able to get a perfect layout just by coding correctly 
rather than having to check it on the screen.

You can write lateX in any text editor, and you can convert it into PDF 
using the pdflatex command line program which comes with mictex.
I hear TeXnic center is accessible and could make your job easier.
There are many lateX tutorials which can get you started.
