[BlindMath] Nemeth/braille math

[Shelley Mack]

Bert,

This isn't an online resource, but a number of years ago I made a Nemeth
Quick Reference Sheet, which in print had symbols on one one side of a
sheet of paper and examples of them in use on the other side. Then a couple
years ago another transcriber made the sheet into a brf. She uses the
"mention" sign (dots 46, dots 123456) with each symbol, but as long as the
reader is familiar with that, it could be helpful. I'm not sure if this
listserv allows attachments, but let me know if you'd like to see it.

Thanks,
Shelley Mack
