[BlindMath] Textbooks in Braille?

[Steve Jacobson]

Please also keep in mind that particularly older editions by the same author and with the same title are often very little different than the specific edition specified.  It is common for the main changes to be in the exercises, for example.  Therefore, an older braille version might work fine.  Many professor's know what has changed and are pretty good about letting one know if an older version will work, but some are rigid and may insist that nothing but the current edition will work.  They haven't had to try to locate copies of accessible textbooks.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

books that you listed, but I did find one Physics book by Cutnell and
several Calculus books by James Stewart. However, these are older
editions.

Hi everyone,

We have a blind student who is registered in Physics 126 and Math 214 for
the fall term. We are hoping that someone out there might have the 2
necessary textbooks in Braille. Here are the textbooks we are looking for:

Calculus 8E (chapters 10 - 14)
James Stewart
9781285740621

Physics 11E (Chapters 18 - 23)
Cutnell

Thanks,

Russell
