[nabs-l] Maths course.

Hello everyone,
I've never been great at maths. It was taught rather visually when I
was at school although there were Braille resources; graph paper, wiki
sticks, Cubi-Rhythm etc. Anyway, I've decided to do something about
it. Does anyone know where I can access a maths course that's aimed at
visually impaired people? Preferably something that doesn't rely on
visual cues or imagery. An audio course or electronic course? Baring
in mind that I don't live in America.

Thanks again,
very best wishes,
Sandra.
