[nabs-l] College Math Homework on the Perkins Brailler

[Aleeha Dudley]

Vejas, 
I run into this issue with all of my math and science courses. It may take longer, but I write things out on the Perkins, then type them into my laptop or notetaker. If I remember right, you have an Apex. If you write in NEmeth on the Apex, it will not display properly as symbolic math. Those with the touch can write in Nemeth and have it display as linear symbolic math. I believe the BrailleSense also has this capability. When writing on a laptop, without the assistance of specialized math editing software, you can write linearly, using +, -, * and / for your equations. You can also use the caret for an exponent. This should be fairly readable by your instructor.
HTH,
Aleeha

My Disability Services are extremely helpful and I could tell one of the grad student staff the answers for them to write out, but I was just curious if others have done it differently.  If all my professor wanted was the answers, I could do all the problems on the Brailler and then make an electronic file with the answers on them, but work does need to be shown.
