[Blindmath] Looking for Quantum Physics and Multivariable Calculustextbooks in Braille

[sabra1023]

They've always printed out fine for me, and you can use your notetaker to make it into a document. You don't need to use the computer to convert it.

Also, I just realized that the vast majority of Unicode characters outside the typically used blocks (including most symbols in the Mathematical Operators block, don't always print out correctly when printing from the BrailleNote directly.  They most likely will be printed as question marks, but they will be interpreted correctly when the file is exported to a Word (.doc) document on the computer.  I hope this is helpful.
