[BlindMath] What is your experience reading LaTeX source?

[Joseph C. Lininger]

I used to use it for that purpose all the time, and I found it extremely 
useful. My professors used to give me copies of math exams in LaTeX 
even, since that's how they generated them in the first place. I also 
used it for taking notes in both math and other classes, and for 
generating homework, exams, etc. etc. etc. for professors. One of them 
made a joke once that my homework actually looked better visually than 
all of the sighted student's because of the fact LaTeX typesets 
everything so nicely. For notes, I wouldn't generate a pdf of course. 
I'd just use the source as my notes.

I don't attend school anymore, but I still use LaTeX for producing 
documents sometimes. I also use it when I take notes for personal study 
in math and cryptography.
