Oct 8, 2013 · Although he was an excellent student and pianist, Nemeth, who was born blind in New York City, received no encouragement to pursue his interest in mathematics. His teachers and school counselors saw the lack of a notation system as an insurmountable barrier.
Oct 10, 2013 · Abraham Nemeth was a blind mathematician and college professor who developed a widely used Braille system, the Nemeth Code, that makes it easier for blind people to become proficient in ...
Abraham Nemeth (October 16, 1918 – October 2, 2013) was an American mathematician. He was professor of mathematics at the University of Detroit Mercy in Detroit, Michigan . Nemeth was blind and is known for developing Nemeth Braille , a system for blind people to read and write mathematics.
Nemeth first figured out ways to make the 63 available Braille symbols do triple and quadruple duty. Then he converted every problem into uniform little dots evenly, spaced along a level line–everything from simple fractions and "plus" and "minus" signs to cube roots and logarithm tables.
Oct 6, 2013 · The Nemeth Code is recognized as an indispensable tool for instruction in mathematics and science. In 1972 and 1976 he and his wife were invited by the Soviet Union to come to Moscow and tell about the Nemeth Code and how a blind person can access the computer screen.
Oct 2, 2013 · That code, today known as the Nemeth Code, has been instrumental in opening up careers in science and math to people who are blind or have other visual impairments.
