[Blindmath] alternative methods of learning college algebra

[David Moore]

Hi Laura,
I had sight until I was 15. By the way, my name is David Moore. After I lost 
my sight, I learned how to do all the math I had done up through high school 
algebra in my head the way that I had seen it with my eyes. You can learn 
how to concentrate so well, that you could be able to see the algebra in 
your head just how you would see it written and do all of the steps in your 
head and obtain the answer by seeing every step just like it is in front of 
your eyes. I Majored in math by using this method. If someone reads you a 
problem, you can learn how to keep every step straight in your head. If you 
need some braille to write down, just make up any code you want. No one else 
reads the Braille anyway, so as long as you know what it means, you can just 
make up your code. Please email me, Laura. Braille is not needed to do math 
and do not let these Braille crazy people tell you that. If I do write math 
down in Braille, I use some made up code, because I am the only one who 
reads Braille. I will share my experience with you and teach you tricks of 
doing all math in your head. Have a great one, can't wait to talk to you. I 
will help you get an A in that class. I have tutored sighted and blind alike 
just for fun. You will be fine and you can do it. I am a college mathematics 
professor at a community college. I am also totally blind. You can do it, I 
am proof. Take care.

You must learn Braille and Nemeth Code which is the Braille mathematics
code.

greetings everyone

I am a college student and i am not proficient in braille. that is because i
lost my sight recently.

for my core curricular courses i am expected to take college algebra and
since i do not know math braille i would love to get suggestions from all of
you on how i can be able to go through my course using alternative methods.

i am totally blind and eager to take up any suggestions.

your input is highly appreciated and thanks a lot.
