[NFB-Science] Math Talk by Blind Mathematician

[Marko Mikulin]

Hello,

congrats for your work!

I'm intrested in what software and other devices do you use to work for
your scientific work (mathematics, writing scientific papers, do the
calculations, making presentations). Can you list which software and
adaptations do you use in your work? I would really apretiate it.

Thanks.

Best,

Marko
