[BlindMath] Nemeth/braille math

[Susan Osterhaus]

Hi Bert,

There are a lot of free online resources to learn Nemeth Code these days,
and I have helped author many of them. However, I'm going to zero in on
your specific request. I'm wondering if the Nemeth Curriculum currently
located at: http://accessibility.pearson.com/resources/nemeth-curriculum
might work best for you.  Pass up the Grades PK - 2nd and Focused Lessons
and go straight to the Nemeth Symbol Library
https://accessibility.pearson.com/resources/nemeth-curriculum/nemeth-symbo
l-library/

Let me know if that's close to what you want/need. If not, there are many
other free resources I can tell you about. Louis also mentioned the APH
Nemeth Tutorial, which I helped write way back in 1997 - well that was the
original and not the Nemeth within UEB Contexts of today. All of my
current resources are Nemeth within UEB Contexts.

Best wishes,
Susan

Subject: [BlindMath] Nemeth/braille math

Dear all,

In the past I learned a local maths braille system. I also read LaTeX but
for my own computations now and then it might be nice to use something
more compact, like the Nemeth code which you could read on the Braille
display and which you could easily type using the Perkins-style keyboard
often integrated in these displays.

I now would like to have a guide to Nemeth to have a quick start, and
which is written for self-study of an end-user rather than written for
instructors. It would be nice to have a glossary that reads like:
Integral sign: dots 2346
start subscript: dots 16
closing sign (for a sub/superscript, nominator, denominator): dots 156 And
so on.

Is there any such online resource that I could easily access?

There are also other braille math codes (such as the UK one). Are they
much different and which one will be most widely usable when it comes to
conversion to other formats etc.?

Kind regards,
Bert
