[nabs-l] College Math questions

[KENNEDY STOMBERG]

My best advice would be for you to ask these questions to the student that will be receiving the textbook.  
Generally speaking, I like the whole tactile drawing NOT just enough for me to understand the concept. I want to feel what the sighted people see. 
In terms of graphing... I prefer to do graphing problems on my own. But sometimes, human readers are just more efficient. 

Again, best to ask your student. :) 

Best of luck!

We recently started doing a Braille math book in Nemeth for a student, and with it being our first one, I have a few questions that I am hoping that all of your own experiences can help me with. My experience won't help as much as I would like because I do have limited vision so I've done things differently than this student will need.
