[Blindmath] Ways to do Algebra 2 on The Braillenote

[David Tseng]

I would suggest folks who want to continue writing Nemeth, but avoid
the manual process of translation from Nemeth to print to give Nemetex
a try.

The product converts Nemeth to LaTeX, so the user need not know how to
write LaTeX. Thereafter, any LaTeX rendering software can translate
the file into properly typeset mathematics. This is still a two step
process of conversion to LaTex, then rednering by two separate
products, but does get rid of the manual human translator. The
alternative though gets rid of even this step (below).

I personally incrementally learned LaTeX. LaTeX comes with a handful
of operators and fairly simple syntax (really not harder than learning
Nemeth); this is especially if you already write out sqrt. It would
just be \sqrt{}. Consider also if you need to write a cube root or an
nth root? It will also be more useful if you ever want to do math or
science in the future since many professors use LaTeX to write up
anything from quizes to final exams to entire books :).
