[Blindmath] Math graphs

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

You will need someone to explain the graphs to you.
I'd suggest you ask your professor to do this, explain that you want to understand this, that you can't access the graphs so you'd like them to describe them.
Go in with the attitude that you care and want to learn this.

Subject: [Blindmath] Math graphs

Hello,
My name is Catalina. I am taking a math class and use Braille.
I have a difficult time with my class because the 3 chapters of my math textbook at my college are almost entirely graphic. I told the instructor I cannot do it since it is very hard to understand the graphs for this intermediate to advance algebra class. But they tell me they don’t know how to accommodate me. They use MyMathLab, which is not accessible for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please? How does a blind student navigate a textbook that has a lot of graphs?
Thanks a lot,
Catalina
