[BlindKid] Math Homework on the PC

Tue Jan 14 18:52:49 UTC 2020

Algebra can still be done with all the symbols that are available and there
are a massive amount. ASCII coding along with just knowing your math code
is all you need.
After algebra you need to start thinking about MathType and LaTex-- we have
one instructor that focuses on that big time for the advanced math kids
During Christmas time I got a 20% off MathType code. So around the holidays
do look for those discount codes
