Re: accesible math resources

wellcome in the pain world.
I am a math pasionate and all I can get was to get some one read to me formulas 
and I write them in braille with my Perkins.
On wikipedia they give their formulas in grafics but with alt text in latex so 
if you know this language you can read it.
But it is hard to be a latex compiler your self...
This is a open issue in the world of accessibility.
When a convenient way to read/write mathematics will be standardised for blinds 
I will be very happy.

  Subject: accesible math resources


  Hello all,
  I wanted to get in to some design with physics, building simulations, etc. I 
had some ideas for some fun games, though I have a problem.
  I want to learn about vectors, trig, calc, etc. Are there any accessible math 
resources you guys used? I do great if I can sit down and teach myself, or if I 
can understand the problem, it's just getting everything that's the issue.
  Second, would someone happen to have a list of formulas for physics 
calculations? I'd like to play around with some of those.
  I'd also like to find a decent calculator (preferably software) that will do 
what I set it to, using variables and etc.
  I heard about matlab, but I believe that costs. I just want to play around 
with it, so investing cash isn't an option at this point. It might, if I had 
the cash to invest, but that just opens up a whole new set of doors(problems)
  Last, I'd like to learn how algos work such as compression and encryption. 
All the info on these I've found are decent, but they tend to show their 
formulas in graphics, which is no help at all.


  Thanks,
  Tyler Littlefield
