[BlindMath] Preparing an Online Calculus Class

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
There are two options you should consider if it is online:
1. Give the student readable LaTeX files.
2. Turn the LaTeX files into mathml with something like pandoc so the
student can read them in the web browser.
I think Mathlab is accessible in some way, but I've never used it before.
Diagrams and graphs need to be raised and put into Braille.
Thanks,
