[Blindmath] BlindMath Gems

[David Andrews]

Now Available on Blindscience.org: Blindmath Gems
For almost ten years, the NFB has maintained the 
Blindmath listserv, a lively exchange of 
worldwide postings on all topics mathematical. 
The Blindmath archives are now 
ginormous.  Finding anything of substance in them 
can be a daunting task except for the most 
database-savvy users.  Therefore, in cooperation 
with the NFB Jernigan Institute, I have spent the 
last three years combing through the Blindmath 
archives looking for and compiling the most 
interesting and relevant postings.  We have put 
this compilation on the NFB’s Blindscience.org 
Website.  Postings have been placed in different 
categories that simplify user searches 
.  Currently, I have finished searching the 
archives through 2011.  What has happened too 
often before is that rather than searching the 
archives first, people in need of math-related 
information have simply posted their questions on 
Blindmath.  This has resulted in repetitive 
queries with sometimes tired, old answers.  Now, 
before posting your question, please go to 
<http://www.blindscience.org/blindmath-gems-home>www.blindscience.org/blindmath-gems-home. 
If you don’t find what you are looking for here, 
feel free to post your question to 
Blindmath.  It’s possible that your question has 
already been answered, and I simply failed to 
select your query.  Let me apologize here in 
advance for any failure or shortcoming on my part 
in my selection of postings.  If you have
