[BlindMath] Long Math Problems

[John Gardner]

Nicholas, my technique for long complicated things is to define
sub-expressions. Really complicated equations can be made sense of by
defining a long list of sub-expressions. For example (in LaTex notation
since Nemeth isn't too convenient in e-mail):
x = \frac{A}{B}
where A = ...
and B = ...
This is my own technique, and I have no idea whether it is recommended by
any official body. But it works. Otherwise you could get a longer braille
display, but there will always be an equation longer than it.

Good luck.
John

Subject: [BlindMath] Long Math Problems

Hello,

In my more statistical theory classes, many of the math problems have long
computations with many exponents, subscripts, and many summations. I am
using a braille notetaker that gives the ability to write nemeth code. It
has been really helpful, but I have had trouble with math equations being
longer than the about 30 cells on the notetaker. This has made it harder for
looking back at part of the problem to insert a result into another equation
and simplifying down an equation that has a lot of fractions and summations.
Is there any strategy that has been used to help with something like this?

Thank you,
Nicholas
