[Nfb-science] Fw: [Blindtlk] Statistics calculators for the blind;

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
The topic of calculators has been mentioned on the blindmath list, so have a 
look back in the archives for that list. There are various offerings, from 
commercial products such as the audio graphing calculator from viewplus (you 
may want to try the demo before you buy), or free offerings such as calc 
which you may prefer.

The topic of graphs, anything in particular? eg. drawing them, the teacher 
teaching them, etc. One place who have a few articles on maths and blind 
people, is www.mathstore.ac.uk, go to the A-Z link, and then select access 
from the list of pages. You now will have a large list of articles and other 
resources (unfortunately for you there are more than just blindness related 
resources, so you will need to look through it for revelant things), and 
this may also be useful for your teacher if they are unsure on certain 
things.

I will be happy to try and answer any further questions on this.

I don't know if Aziza is on the nfb-science list, and if anyone knows then 
please pass on the information as appropriate (suggesting the list for this 
type of topic).

From
Michael Whapples
