Requirements on a Mathematical Notation for the Blind

چکیده

The integration of blind people into learning and working environments of the sighted needs among other things a possibility to write and represent mathematical expressions in an appropriate way. There exist different concepts how to form a mathematical notation for the blind. This contribution presents in a first step a discussion of the variety of demands for a mathematical notation. In a second step it is shown that the "Stuttgarter Mathematikschrift für Blinde" (SMSB) meets these requirements. Particularly it is possible to transform SMSB-terms into a graphical representation, which is familiar to the sighted.
