[nabs-l] Advanced college math

[Dennis Clark]

Hello Curt,
Many totally blind people have taken advanced math classes and have actually 
obtained PhD's in math.  I went to engineering school and took calculus, 
differential equations, partial differential equations, and linear algebra. 
I had all of my books in Braille, and speaking only for myself, I could not 
have successfully taken these classes without Braille books.  Hope that 
helps.
Best,
Dennis
