[nfbcs] FW: your advice would be appreciatedFW: [List] Handling

[I. C. Bray]

    In this, I would have to completely agree.
I managed to take a college trig class without using any calculator / 
graphing device. The reason I
got an A in the class is because I was able to
intuitively 'draw' the graphs in my mind.
I also managed to  memorize several trig facts ( like radian measurements, 
derrivatives, integrals ) and the fact iss
that once you have that kind of self-reference, and you can "approach" what 
a graph
is supposed to look like, Trig is easy...

Mathematics is challenging enough, Having been a System's Analyst, I know 
how completely challenging the work is.
It is highly compeditive... certification materials are not cheap for 
SIGHTED materials.  I am comfortable in presuming that they are all but 
non-existent in accessible  modes.
I do not want to sound discouraging, if this individual shows real talent, 
then
I say more power to ya!

I was fortunate that my college Profs were sensitive to my needs, and I 
developed a real relationship with them all, and even tutored some students. 
I do not recommend "Programming" for just anyone.  I analyze problems... I 
hate writing code... LOL

Respectfully,
