Standardized testing is blah, especially in certain areas where you're being assessed on concepts you haven't explicitly seen in months or possibly years. We have our own version of it in PA, and it always bugged everybody. I escaped that misery just

Well, math ended up being surprisingly easy. Florida's governor canceled all standardized testing for K-12 students, which meant that all classes that relied on an end of course exam would be graded as if the tests didn't exist. But with my teacher

I know this is a bit old, but wanted to bring it back up to see how the rest of the semester/school year went for everybody.How did the rest of your math courses go? Did the accessibility issues get ironed out in light of COVID19's forcing classes
Re: Distance Learning and Math Courses
@37, interesting. Are you using nemeth or UEB? I think you're one of the calc folks, so that'd be neat to hear how the conversion is going for you.

Re: Distance Learning and Math Courses
So for math I use the KeyMath map conversion utility that's inside the BrailleNote Touch Plus, which converts any Braille math symbols into print ones (as long as I write them correctly).

I am curious (and trying to keep the topic alive a little bit), how many are utilizing LaTeX and MathML? Are any Braille readers using BRF's?

@32, here's my best attempt at explaining the concepts you mentioned:As far as the problem you presented, you would use the quotient rule to solve. The rule states:The derivative of a rational function is calculated by FPrime*G-F*GPrime all divided

@28, derivatives of trig functions are actually just things to commit to memory. There are some things to notice, like the ones starting with "c" have a negative. cos, cosecant, cotangent all have negative derivatives.p.s.: let us know

Re: Distance Learning and Math Courses
@26, is your example meant to be taken as:(12x^2-19x)/14xor12x^2-(19x/14x)Given you're being exposed to the rules for differentiation, it would make sense to me that the first interpretation is correct since it would require using the quotient rule
