[Blindmath] Audio graphing calculator

[Shalini Menon]

Hello Tim,

Thank you so much. Now I know where to begin, and at least I’ll be
able to ask the right questions! I have contacted my college, to get
more information on the kind of functions I will need my graphing
calculator to do. I will post as soon as I hear from them.
