[nabs-l] Introduction and some thoughts

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Hi Marty,
Welcom to the list! Don't worry - despite the passionate discussions  
going on, everyone on this list is great and extremely helpful.
I am a twenty-year-old first year student at the University of Toronto  
in Canada. I'm studying actuarial science - a math-based program. What  
is your vision like? I'm a Braile reader so my strategies for doing  
math may be entirely differnt to yours.
I hope this list meets all your expectations.
Sarah
