Using Braille to Memorize Mathematical Formulas

Thanks @Erol!

Just had some time and decided to draw up a quick example for people that don’t follows links and this way it’s a bit more obvious in the post itself as well. (I’m using French braille instead of Nemeth by the way.)

5^2 \sqrt{3}\neq5^{2\sqrt{3}}

66, 16, 01
06, 34, 43
15, 60

For those of you that don’t have a binary system yet but images for 00…99, here’s how you read the binary as decimal:

① ①
② ②
④ ④

Two columns make a cell and if a dot is raised for that column you add it, so you’ll alway have a value between 0 and 7 in each of the two cells. In the end you can encode the above math expression using your existing PAO system with just 5 locations. Best of all, there is absolutely no ambiguity!
