[Blindmath] Nemetex

[Shalini Menon]

Thanks everyone for the advice.
Aine, that was really really helpful! I think the braille note sounds
like a good idea, because I love Nemeth and I’m really comfortable
with it. However, as I plan to study Economics in college as well, I
will probably need to do a lot of Stats. I’m thinking maybe I could
learn to do math on a computer as well, so I can switch over when ever
I need to.
