Cindy , Bob, I thought of an easier possibility before I start the task of scanning such complicated books. I contacted Addison-Wesley to see if they will simply provide the needed material. I figured it can't hurt to ask, especially since I have quite a few other AW books I am interested in.

To the best of my knowledge there are no guidelines in place to handle the types of books you are asking about. Thanks.

Is there an accepted method of translating equations that use multi-line symbols such as integrals and summations? Also, since I use text-to-speech rather than braille displays (I only recently became blind and have not nor intend to learn braille at this time) I have no idea how greek letters are handled by such devices. All of the books I am considering scanning have a great deal of math markup, including such things as super and subscripts, equations as mentioned above etc. There are also graphs, flowcharts and other elements that I have no idea how to handle properly. I have tried searching the existing bookshare library but as far as I can tell the existing math books focus much more on elementary level texts rather than univesity course work. I know wikipedia as an example uses latex markup, but that isn't very pretty as text in my opinion.
