[Blindmath] Self Study Resources

[nabs.president at gmail.com]

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at MIT OCW and it looks like there is a
lot of good stuff there. I am still looking for a way to get access to
equations. Outside of finding a Braille textbook I am just not sure what
that would look like.

Thanks again,

Sean
