and differential equations. The spacing must be absolutely perfect (and that might not be the same as spacing for print math) or the braille can come out wrong. Luckily we had a braille proofreader on staff who was able to catch the oddball errors when they
occurred and manually fix them. We learned that for lower-level math the conversion was generally quite clean, but in higher-level textbooks we had to do very close proofreading and a fair amount of correction.

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated, since at the moment we are outsourcing all of our math and physics-related Braille because we are not familiar with Nemeth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

documents in MS Word with all the styles and formatting. You can even use Math Type in Word to create Nemeth math braille with Duxbury.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
