[Blindmath] Looking for a Braille Calculus Book

[Wheatley, Richard]

I live in Britain, and have no idea where anyone else is, but I used AQA exam board text books for calculus. My college had them and when I tried to get a set for home from the british braille library I found it was the same text book. Have you tried speaking to the exam board? Even if they don't help, try OCR and AQA exam boards as the laws of maths don't change from board to board even if the slight details of what is examined bay change.
Thank you 
Richard

Hi All,

I suggest everyone to check out theAlternate Text Production Center where you find lots of already transcribed Braille books.  I believe the staff, with appropriate costs, can emboss the volumes and ship them directly to the students.

Best,

Maybe rather than look for the braille book itself, you could look for the files that other people have compiled already and use goes to load into the embossing program. You could use the XML file from book share, but even that isn't fully accessible.
