[Blindmath] Accessible introduction to Statistics preffiberely with R

[John Gardner]

Hi, I can recommend two ways to convert Latex to html/MathML.  Michael
Whapples wrote a step by step tutorial on translating Latex to html/MathML
on the Access2Science site:
http://www.access2science.com/latex/tutorial_txht.xhtml

There is also a Windows application on the market that does a surprisingly
good job of converting Latex to Word files where equations are MathType
objects. 
http://www.chikrii.com/products/tex2word/tex-to-word/
This application is relatively inexpensive, around $50 I believe. The Word
files are directly readable by several means and can also be converted by
MathType to a MathPage with math in MathML.  You also need MathType, which
also costs around $50 academic price - but many US universities have site
licenses.

Subject: [Blindmath] Accessible introduction to Statistics preffiberely with
R

Hello, I am a totally blind programmer who took up through Calc one while in
college several years ago. I'd like to learn basic statistics for use in
trying to generate projections for daily fantasy sports.
>From doing research I believe R will be my program of choice. Can anyone
point me to a text that is available in an easily accessible format that
covers basic statistics? It would be helpful if R was the tool used but not
required. I am a braille reader so can use a braille display or possibly try
to find a way to have a BRF file printed out for me. If there is not a text
already in an accessible form what would be the easiest way to convert a
LaTeX file to either MathML or braille? Thanks for any info.
