The Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Science Notation was developed in the US and used in many parts of the world until the introduction of Unified English Braille. Although it was never the official maths and science code in the UK, many people acquired a passing familiarity with it as it was used by default by many braille technology manufacturers in applications such as calculators on braille notetakers.
IN this session, we are joined by Jen Goulden, the Chair of the Braille Authority of North America (BANA), which maintains the Nemeth code. Jen will tell us about the origins of the code and its creator, Abraham Nemeth, explain how the code is maintained, and provide an overview of common Nemeth symbols.
