[BlindMath] Need help with recommendations for Comp Sci course requirements

Tue Apr 16 20:20:13 UTC 2024

Hello,

I'd like to know what about the raw source you are preferring. If it is just the equations and not having them filtered by any tools, then  you can read that if the HTML is generated using MathJax because the source is embedded.

I may be in the minority here, but I actually prefer to work with straight LaTeX source files for Calculus/Statistics.

Would love to hear what others prefer.
