Two things to research:

The new mathjax extension might help you sometimes (They have a 
bookmarklet you can enhance any page with. Also, you might or might not 
find la tex useful. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible to do 
linear algebra on a computer without physical paper in front of you, 
because understanding the matrix is necessary, and that requires 2d. I 
don't have many pointers for this, but I did make la tex acces to work 
with NVDA so that the matrix browser was much nicer. I've tried several 
times to get them to reabsorb my work into the project with no luck. So 
maybe it's time I fork the project so at least its out there. If you 
have further questions on setup for domain specific things, please feel 
free to ask. Also, contact your disability services at this school, as 
they can often help you a fare amount.
