question to the blind-math listserv that the NFB hosts? All I
can say to recommend that resource is that I have no idea what they’re
talking about, except to glean that a lot of blind mathemeticians and teachers

<p class=MsoNormal>I received this question from a friend and wonder if anyone
has any suggestions? I have not had the pleasure of working with Matlab yet..
Thanks for any responses.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>“I'm wondering if you know of any blind students using
Matlab/Simulink? I have a blind engineer in my group whose job involves doing
simulations to test Simulink models. I don't know if you are familiar with the
tool, but Simulink is a graphical modeling tool (which is of course problematic
for a blind person). He is able to use excel, Command line commands and scripts
he has written to generate test vectors, run the simulation and analyze the
results, but is completely unable to access any useful information from or
manipulate the model itself. We have not been able to get much support/help
from the Mathworks (maker of the tool), and he has not been very successful
finding other users in any of his on-line forum contacts. Since this is a very
popular tool at schools as well as in industry, just wondering if you may have
any contacts that might be helpful.”<o:p></o:p></p>
