[nabs-l] precalc

[Mary Fernandez]

Hi Christopher! I'm a freshman at Emory University. while I have been
fortunate to skip math this year, i did take calculus AP in high
school.So, I'm really familiar with all the dirty tricks and short
cuts out there. The one thing I would recommend if you are a braille
reader, is to beg your college to provide the math books in braille.
they could hire a private transcriber to get that done, that way
graphs and such will not be such a problem. Pre-Calc has a lot of
graphs curve analysis, so I really highly suggest getting those books
in a format that you can physically look at. Contact me off list with
more specfic questions.
