Hi Michael,
You could try asking on the BlindMath list. I am not aware of any
standardized Braille code for symbolic logic. However, if it's just
for your own benefit and to communicate with your professor, could you
make up your own code and then just put a key at the top of your
papers? I did that in high school when I had to diagram sentences,
using a hyphen to connect adjectives and related nouns for example.
