Nemeth Code Rules

The Nemeth Braille Code For Mathematics and Science

The Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Sciences, 1972 Revision (a.k.a. the "Green Book") is being encoded into MathSpeak, so that the book is accessible online. One of the goals of the MathSpeak™ project is to eventually encode the entire Nemeth book as an online reference for MathSpeak™.

The following rules have an estimated correctness of at least 95% with the default MathSpeak setting:

RULE 2 --   Numeric Signs and Symbols
RULE 3 --   Capitalization
RULE 6 --   Punctuation Signs and Symbols
RULE 7 --   Reference Signs and Symbols
RULE 8 --   Abbreviations
RULE 9 --   Contractions and Short-Form Words
RULE 11 --   Cancellations
RULE 12 --   Fractions
RULE 13 --   Superscripts and Subscripts
RULE 14 --   Modifiers
RULE 15 --   Radicals
RULE 17 --   Function Names and Their Abbreviations
RULE 18 --   Signs and Symbols of Grouping
RULE 19 --   Signs and Symbols of Operation
RULE 20 --   Signs and Symbols of Comparison
