[Blindmath] mathematica

Fri Apr 19 17:39:43 UTC 2013

Hi Tyler, 

What are you trying to get access to in Mathematica? I have a script that I made for a totally blind physicist who wanted to work with symbolic computation in a text editor. If you would like me to send it to you email me at kylek at wolfram.com and I'll get you up and running. If you need other functionality I would like to hear from you and try to help you develop a solution or workaround. 

Sincerely, 
Kyle Keane

Hi all,
This was forwarded to me by a cyber-acquaintance. I'm going to respond
to the person directly to ensure she knows about the NFB and about
funding sources for assistive tech and training, but I am wondering if
any of you are qualified and might be willing to mentor this young
woman and help tutor her in chemistry and/or help her prep for the
SAT's? It would be great for her to work with a blind mentor even if
it is long-distance. I would do it but it has been too long since I've
taken the SAT's and my last chem course was in 2005. If you're
qualified or know somebody who is, could you please get in touch with
her by phone? Thanks!

Hi all,

There is a local 17 year old girl who is losing her eyesight. She is
an excellent student and struggling to continue working hard in school
so that she can go to college despite the fact that she is grappling
with losing her eyesight.

She needs to prepare for the SAT's and is also taking Chemistry this
summer so she can lighten her school load for next year. The financial
costs for her parents are becoming insurmountable given all the
additional needs she has now.

Do you tutor or know someone who tutors for the SAT's? We are looking
for someone who might drastically reduce fees or donate SAT prep
services. Also, need chemistry tutor for the summer.

Also want to know about any computer assisted programs you may know
about for the visually impaired and blind? Lastly, if you know any
teenagers or young adults with whom she can talk and get support, that
would be wonderful.

Please let me know. Thanks so much!

I don't know yet but the area code is 310 which makes me suspect it is
Los Angeles area in CA.

Hello:
Have any of you used Mathamatica with jaws? I tried the gui backend as 
well as the mathamatica kernel cli backend. Each has their drawbacks; I 
don't mine the cli backend, but it raises exponents up to the line above 
it which makes tracking which expression it went with really messy. Any 
tips/ideas would be welcome.
Thanks,

Take care,

It has been a long time since I used Mathematica, so I don't remember 
all of the output options, but I know that you can change the output 
form to fortran for instance which introduces different issues but is at 
least fully linear.  By now they may be other output options which are 
better.

I don't have a functional Mathematica at the moment, but I think you can say
$Post = FortranForm

or, I think better,
$Post = InputForm

This will apply FortranForm or InputForm to every output so that you don't
need to write apply it everytime like shown below:
Expand[(x+y)^5]//InputForm

If you use $Post, all of your output will be linear, either like Fortran,
or like the input.  I think the later form is better since that is what you
need type.

Good luck,
