[nabs-l] [nabs-l) Mathamatics, symbols, and braille Oh my! (question)

[Kaiti Shelton]

Karl Martin Adam is another list user.  I'm surprised he hasn't
responded yet, because he's triple majoring in philosophy,
anthropology, and history.  I know he's mentioned to me that a code
for symbolic logic is in the works already with a guy from the U.S and
a guy from Australia, but he would know more about it.  I'll try to
call his attention to this and see if he can respond to you.
