Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation Rule V Clarification



The Braille Authority of North America (BANA) 
announces an addendum to the The Nemeth Code for 
Mathematics and Science Notation 1972 Revision, 
2007 Update. This addendum provides clarification 
to Rule V­Type Forms, specifically:

Section 32.  Use of Type-Form Indicators with 
Letters, Numerals, and Compound Expressions

and

Section 33.  Use of Type-Form Indicators with 
Words, Phrases, and Mathematical Statements



This addendum may be found on the website of the 
Braille Authority of North America at 
<http://www.brailleauthority.org/>http://www.brailleauthority.org. 
It does not change the existing rule and 
sections, but provides clarification to the 
language and examples used in the rule.





The mission and purpose of the Braille Authority 
of North America are to assure literacy for 
tactile readers through the standardization of 
braille and/or tactile graphics. BANA promotes 
and facilitates the use, teaching and production 
of braille. It publishes rules, interprets and 
renders opinions pertaining to braille in all 
existing codes. It deals with codes now in 
existence or to be developed in the future, in 
collaboration with other countries using English 
braille. In exercising its function and 
authority, BANA considers the effects of its 
decisions on other existing braille codes and 
formats; the ease of production by various 
methods; and acceptability to readers.
