[nabs-l] college and math

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Hey! I'm using nemetex for the first time this year and absolutely love it.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about it. Smile.
I have an ancient Braille Lite, so use the third method outlined in the
online users' manual - I write all text in uncontracted Braille and Nemeth
for all the math. Almost all of the Nemeth symbols you could ever want are
recognized by this software. Take a read through the online manual and many
of your questions will be answered. I use it with Scientific Notebook, I
don't know anything about the other program mentioned for converting the
math to pdf files. Feel free to write off list if you have any other
questions - I'm no expert but I'd love to help in any way I can.
Good luck,
Sarah

Greetings everyone on the list,
   I am having some math trouble. I am attending college at the University 
of Colorado at Boulder, and I am taking a math class this semester. I have 
been looking at some nemeth math translation software and have been trying a

software called Nemetex. Does anyone here use any math translation software 
that works with the BrailleNote? If so, can you please tell me where I can 
get it?
   The Nemetex software is a pretty good software, but I still haven't 
figured out how to use it. Does anyone on this list know how to use it, or 
any other software that may work with the BrailleNote?
   In middle and high school I did all my math on the Perkins Braille Writer

and my Teacher translated the Braille into print math. Since there is nobody

to do the translation now, I am looking for some other ways of producing 
work that my teacher can read.
   If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
   Thank you very much.
   Nijat
