[BlindMath] Literature on advanced probability and statistics

[Halena Rojas Valduciel]

Hi Lucasz.
First of all, thanks for the resources you recommend.
Regarding the reading of university texts, our student has used a
combination of Latex, Braille and speech synthesis.
Nemeth is not managed in Venezuela, as far as I am aware of at any
educational level; in fact, the majority of blind students are
directed towards the humanities area.
Those few who obtain the baccalaureate in sciences, use the unified
mathematical code, or some alternative with synthesis of voice
It is the first time that a blind student attends this degree and goes
so far, so they do not have many previous experiences, nor with
accessible university texts in the area of ​​advanced mathematics.
Depending on the teacher, the  files are usually provided. tex with
which the practices and other files are generated in PDF format.
The problem is that in this subject, the teacher sends his students to
consult the bibliography, and until now we have not obtained it
digitalized.
Anyway, thanks for answering.
Have a nice day.
Greetings, Halena.
