National Federation of the Blind Mourns Passing of Dr. Abraham Nemeth 
Honors His Pioneering Work to Enhance Braille
Baltimore, Maryland (October 2, 2013):

The National Federation of the Blind today mourns the death of Dr. 
Abraham Nemeth, the scientist who invented the Nemeth Braille Code for 
Mathematics and Scientific Notation and was a lifelong  champion of Braille.

Dr. Marc Maurer, president of the National Federation of the Blind, 
said: Dr. Nemeth had a great mind and a wonderful sense of
humor. His invention of the Braille code that bears his name has 
enabled many blind people to learn, work, and excel in
scientific, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and his tireless 
Braille advocacy work undoubtedly changed countless lives. He will be 
sorely missed and his contributions will be valued by generations to come.

For more information about Dr. Nemeth and his groundbreaking Braille 
code, please read The History of the Braille Code: An
Interview with Dr. Abraham Nemeth, from the Future Reflections 2009 
Special Issue: A Celebration of Braille.
