Hi all,

No, LaTex is a mark-up language for text which was originally developed by publishers for doing books. It handles mathematic notation well. If this is college level math, you will need a program that is designed for displaying mathematic notation for the blind. Not sure about names of programs but suggest you look on the EASI site for help in this area. Also, John Gardner of Oregon State University has done a lot about this sort of thing. You can't use this kind of complicated stuff on the BN. Just not possible. You need the right tool for the job, and the BN is not it.
