Abstract

Mathematics is communicated in visual forms, such as algebra and diagrams. This means that blind people are greatly disadvantaged with respect to education and employment in mathematics, science and technology. A number of ideas are presented regarding the representation of mathematics in non-visual formats. In particular, the Mathtalk software for the presentation of algebra in synthetic speech, is described, as is Soundgraph a program which presents the graphs of mathematical functions in speech and non-speech sounds.
