When do blind children begin to learn Nemeth code? Is Nemeth introduced gradually alongside math or do young learners exclusively use literary UEB until they reach a certain complexity of math? For example, would blind students learning numbers learn numbers in just UEB or in both UEB and Nemeth? What about learning addition, subtraction, fractions, multiplication, division, simple equations, superscripts, and subscripts?

    I don’t have any answers to your questions, I just wanted to thank you for posting this. I had never heard of Nemeth, thanks for adding that to my vocabulary.

    I take math classes online so I think a lot about math typesetting, because I submit typed homework. The Wikipedia page for Nemeth mentions some operators but i noticed a lot of common notation isn’t there (Examples off the top of my head: integrals, large sigma to represent a sum). I’ll be interested if you get good replies to this post.
