Hi, don't think I forgot about those important features. I just didn't feel
like listing everything I felt like should be included. I remember studying
factorials, permutations and combinations and having to enter everything
manually into the BrailleNote, at least for small numbers. I guess I know
the formulas better now, though. (smile) Standard deviations have been a big
problem, though. Luckily my Statistics teacher isn't making me enter those
numbers manually, or I would be sppending a half an hour on one problem.
FYI, I am a high school student.

don't forget about factorial, combinations, and permutations. We need that
on the calculator as well. FYI I am a highschool math teacher At the New
York institute.

Subject: [Braillenote] Suggestion for the scientific calculator
Hi Everybody,
I am very excited to hear that Humanware has advanced the capabilities of
the BrailleNote's/VoiceNote's scientific calculator. I have wanted to be
able to compute fractions for several years and soon wil be able to do this
once I receive my new mPower. I would, however, like to suggest some
improvements which I believe would benefit some BrailleNote users concerning
the scientific calculator. For one thing, I am taking a Statistics class in
which the other students rely heavily on their graphing calculators equipped
with statistical analysis packages. This has posed a problem for me in that
the options for accessible statistical analysis software for the blind are
limited. Although I understand that advanced mathematical technology is
still in its early developmental stages, a statistical analysis capability,
as well as other enhancements to the BrailleNote's scientific calculator
could greatly improve the lives of and increase possibilities for blind high
school and college students who would like to take or who are currently
enrolled in higher math classes, as well as for blind professionals working
in the fields of science, matthematics, and engineering. I mean, what could
be a more optimal device in which to implement such programs than the
BrailleNote, with its portability, high functionality, and high customer
satisfaction? I know that this need for higher-level mathematical software
does not apply to every BrailleNote user, however, its implementation would
be absolutely wonderful news for me and many other blind people I know (many
of them BrailleNote users) who have experienced frustrations trying to find
high-quality technology to help us gain as much from our advanced math
classes as our sighted peers. Humanware has made some great advancements,
and I believe that this new functionality could add to their already
phenomenal record.
