Hello All:
	My name is Michael Ausbun. I am an honors sophomore at the University of Nevada, Reno currently pursuing and bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Anthropology (my goals include a doctorate degree directly after). My question goes out to any Mathematicians, computer scientists or, if I am lucky, Philosophy students.
	Apart of any ‘good’ Philosophy program, is a course called Symbolic Logic. Symbolic logic is inherently visual, in the sense that it utilizes nontraditional symbols to represent propositions in different type of proof-forms. Due to the nature of the course, my University is attempting to find or create some sort of Braille-code, which is universally used by logicians.
	My question, then, is there a currently existent braille-code for symbolic logic? If so, what is it called and can duxberry use it? If not, has anyone encountered a situation like this? If so, what methods did you utilize to over-come this problem.
	Thank you all for your attention and future assistance in this matter.
Respectfully,
Michael Ausbun
