I'm curious. Is the tutorial based on the same book used in the Essentials
of Nemeth course taught for free by the Hadley School for the Blind?

HumanWare launches Nemeth tutorial for BrailleNote
mPower family
For immediate release: Thursday, March 29 2007
Concord, California - HumanWare, the global leader in assistive
technologies for the blind, today announced the launch of the
Nemeth Tutorial, from Dr. Gaylen Kapperman and Jodi Sticken
of Northern Illinois University, for the BrailleNote mPower
family of notetakers for the blind.
"I'm very happy to collaborate with HumanWare to develop the
Nemeth Tutorial on the BrailleNote mPower," said Dr. Kapperman.
"Many of us have worked for years to make Nemeth code instruction
available for both teachers and students. We have conducted extensive
testing, written new lessons and re-tested, all to make this a highly
effective tutorial for Nemeth code."
The Nemeth code is the leading code for representing mathematical
symbols in braille. Learning the Nemeth code is crucial to blind students
and adults who want to perform mathematics, opening doors in education
and employment.
The tutorial is presented in 18 chapters with lessons covering everything
from the basics of writing numbers up to statistics. Each lesson is broken
down into four parts: an explanation of the lesson, and reading, writing
and
proof-reading exercises.
The BrailleNote mPower family are the leading notetakers in education for
the blind. BrailleNotes are found in greater and greater numbers in
schools
as well as in work and everyday activities, where the speed and
productivity
that BrailleNote enables make a life-changing difference.
"We are excited about this new addition of the Nemeth Tutorial for blind
students and adults for the BrailleNote mPower", said Dominic Gagliano,
HumanWare USA VP for Blindness Sales. "Our relationships with school
districts, teachers and students continue to grow stronger. With the
Nemeth
tutorial, the BrailleNote is a powerful tool to aid students to excel in
math
and science and meet competitive graduation and college entrance
requirements."
The Nemeth Tutorial is available as an option for the BrailleNote mPower
BT and QT only, running the latest version of KeySoft.
