Hi Owais,

Computer braille is based on Nemeth braille math not UEB because of the need 
to use separate braille cells for letters and for digits and to have one 
braille cell for one print symbol such as plus.  Nemeth math is more like 
print math and its expressions are shorter. For example, in Nemeth math you 
don't need a number sign to write an expression such as three see but if it 
is at the start of a line putting a number sign makes it easier to read.

I know it is hard to change but you might want to look into switching to 
Nemeth math which should be available to you as an option, especially if you 
are thinking of going on in math or computer programming.  You definitely 
need to know computer braille if you want to get good at programming.

Best wishes,
Susan Jolly
