[gui-talk] Availability of Braille symbols for Symbolic Logic

[Jude DaShiell]

Least expensive way is to get the nemeth math symbols book from national 
braille press.  In addition to the braille, that thermoform book has 
raised pictures of the print symbols accompanying the braille.  Not all 
symbols have proper braille descriptions with them; pentagon and circle 
are two that just have those descriptions since the transcribers didn't 
know what those symbols were for in mathematics.  That would take a 
college or university level math professor to get those described and 
corrected.

More expensive option buy yourself the nemeth code braille set from 
American printing house for the blind.
