[BlindMath] Helpful suggestions

[Bill Dengler]

In terms of braille math, this tutorial should be helpful: https://uebmath.aphtech.org/
LaTeX is a typesetting system popular in the math and CS world. It is very useful for working with mathematical expressions in speech (As a post to braille), accessing main stream mathematical documents (Many professors and mathematicians write documents in TeX so if you can read the source file it is a useful way of accessing the document), and for presenting your work to sighted people (who obviously don’t know Braille).
