[BlindMath] Seeking guidance for Discrete Mathematics

[Aru M]

Hello,

I am a sophomore at Purdue University studying Computer Science and seeking guidance in successfully navigating one of the subjects that I am currently struggling in.

The subject is CS-182. Though, it says Computer fundamentals but it is essentially discrete math covering topics like Logic, proofs,  sets, functions, complexity, induction, recursive algorithms, finite automata, graphs. Semester has just started but I can feel the heat.

The assigned textbook "Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen is available on Bookshare.org but on downloading in all the possible formats available there, I find that none of them is truly accessible and even wonder if it shows the correct information. The Math equations are not read correctly.

I rely completely on JAWS on the Windows laptop and haven't used braille in past many years. For the Math content, I use Equations Editor on Microsoft Word to read the problems and solve them.

The DRC department at the university provides me the lecture notes and other related content in MS Word but I need something to read to understand the concepts like textbook in this case.

I was wondering if anyone here faced something similar and found any workaround.

Looking forward to any suggestions that you might deem helpful.


Best regards,
Arushi
