[Blindmath] Web Link to download Mac TI 89 emulations software

Sun Jan 19 12:14:18 UTC 2014

I have never used this and do not use a Mac currently.  I have before.  I
googled emulation software for the TI 89 and found a link to download
emulation software for the TI 89 that will run on a Macintosh Platform.  I
have no experience with it - but thought someone else on this listserv might
so if you want to check it out - here it is
http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/.

My son is a student who has had some success with emulation software when
the original calculator he needed was not available.  Good luck!

Hello all,
I am a college student majoring in Computer Science.  This semester, I am
taking a Calculus course, and I will be needing a program that evaluates
limits, sums, derivatives, integrals, simplifies fractions, etc.  The
obvious candidate is Mathematica, however from what I can gather, it is
inaccessible on the Macintosh with VoiceOver.

Is there a way to make Mathematica accessible on the Macintosh; or, failing
that, is there another program that is preferred?  The rest of the class
will be using the TI89 calculator, but to the best of my knowledge there is
no way to make that accessible.

I will also be needing to read documents that utilize MathType.  Is there a
way to read this with a screen reader?
Thanks for all help and suggestions.

The no desktop mode of Matlab is accessible via the Terminal shell program
on the Mac. It is possible that Mathematica, may have a similar mode.

You could also install VMWare FUsion or Virtual box and run a WIndows guest
OS as well and try things such as the Lean editor, on WIndows.
ChromeVox will read MathML web pages both on the Mac and Windows.

Thus converting the MathType MathML to a web page may be sufficient.

There are some websites that do that. One of the best is wolfram alpha. I
don't know if it works with voiceover but you can try it for free

I find it very interesting they want the students to use a ti 89. I am a
computer science student and have taken calculus 1,2 and 3. I am currently
in applied linear slfebra. We were specifically told no ti 89 because they
do derivatives snd integrals and we needed to be able to do them ourselves
since that was the pirpose of the class.

You can google for websites that solve integrals and derivatives that is
ehat i did to verify homework. Then you could try them out to check
accessabilty with voiceover.
