[BlindMath] College math questions

[Sabra Ewing]

If you have a braille note touch, it can do math. Unless you are looking into doing math full time, it would be counterproductive to learn markup languages. You can just write your math in a word document. If you are going to be doing math full-time and you want to be heavily invested in making it look visually appealing, then yes, learn a markup language. You can do a lot with XL as well.
