>"I'm very happy to collaborate with HumanWare to develop the
>Nemeth Tutorial on the BrailleNote mPower," said Dr. Kapperman.
>"Many of us have worked for years to make Nemeth code instruction
>available for both teachers and students. We have conducted extensive
>testing, written new lessons and re-tested, all to make this a highly
>effective tutorial for Nemeth code."
>
>The Nemeth code is the leading code for representing mathematical
>symbols in braille. Learning the Nemeth code is crucial to blind students
>and adults who want to perform mathematics, opening doors in education
>and employment.

>from the basics of writing numbers up to statistics. Each lesson is broken
>down into four parts: an explanation of the lesson, and reading, writing
>and
>proof-reading exercises.
>
>The BrailleNote mPower family are the leading notetakers in education for
>the blind. BrailleNotes are found in greater and greater numbers in schools
>
>as well as in work and everyday activities, where the speed and
>productivity
>that BrailleNote enables make a life-changing difference.

>students and adults for the BrailleNote mPower", said Dominic Gagliano,
>HumanWare USA VP for Blindness Sales. "Our relationships with school
