I have done my undergraduation in economics in stellamaris colledge in Chennai. I too had the same problem. but my parents were there to support me. I made them read the somes and their sollutions. I understood and little bit memorised the steps. during the exam time, most of the time I was dependent on the scribes for their calculation. what I would suggest is the student should take down atleast each some for each different mathods and try to understand the steps. there is no technical solution for this as far as I know. because there is no books which are accessible for visually impaird mainly because of equations. I am also searching for technologies softwares that would scan and convert equations into textformats. try infity reader but it is somuch accurate, if the books are in epub formats sometimes it can be scanned and equations can be converted into readable formats for visually impaird. I also humbly request u that if you come across sny solution for this problem, please do share with me. it would be of great use to me. now I am preparing for my MA. Economics entrance exam. best regards
