[BlindMath] Is Doing Mathematics in Braille Practical?

[Saaqib Mahmuud]

Hi BlindMath mates? How are you?
I've been for the past few days learning the UEB mathematics braille through the UEB Math Tutorial on the APH Tech website.
I've just covered the section on matrices, which is Lesson 7.3 in the tutorial.
I'm wondering if it is practical for the blind people to handle the elaborate calculations and manipulations of the higher mathematics (i.e. mathematics above grade 8) in braille on a paper, especially use the upside down writing frame. 

What is the most convenient option for a blind UEB user to do the complex higher mathematics?
Of course, a UEB reader can read mathematics books alright. 

The real challenge is when it comes to working out the problems and presenting one's proofs and solutions in braille. 

For example, suppose a blind person is asked to evaluate a complicated anti-derivative (i.e. indefinite integral), or perform a complicated Gaussian elimination using matrices, and show his or her attempt clearly using the UEB mathematics code. What would be the best option available to a totally blind person, especially somebody using a slate-and-stylus? How best can he or she come up with a correct answer and present his or her work accurately?


Regards.
