The Impact of Braille Systems on Advanced Mathematical Geometry

The invention of certain systems/tools for text transcription for people who are visually impaired or blind stands as a surge in technology and helps the people become independent, learned, and skillful. In the past decades, several systems/tools have evolved. However, each one of these systems/tools has advantages and disadvantages, limitations and strengths, and functional analysis accuracy. In this paper, the Braille system, the types of Braille, and tools which are applicable and most suitable with the Braille system for teaching mathematical geometry are explored. Thus, the Nemeth Braille code which stands out for teaching mathematical geometry is explicitly explained in this paper. The Nemeth Braille code is an advanced mathematical application of the Braille code which is used for teaching primitive and advanced mathematical geometry. This paper includes a review of the existing Nemeth Braille code and other Braille system. It introduces a software development that can be used for accessing and transcribing text documents containing ordinary mathematical geometry (which include shapes, formulas, functions, and equations) into Nemeth Braille code readable formats.
