Nemeth Code Self-Study Instructional Material
Free Download for the Braille Lite 40, Braille Lite 2000, Braille Lite M20 and M40
Welcome to the Nemeth Code Self-Study File Area
The Nemeth Code Self-Study for the Braille Lite is designed to be used by blind individuals to learn to read and write the Nemeth Code for Braille mathematics, or to refresh skills using this code. This software causes all of the Nemeth Code symbols to be spoken correctly.>
This page is designed to provide a simple means of reaching the self-study easily. It provides general links to the locations where the files are stored. As you open the folders, you will be eventually guided to the individual files. This allows, at any point, the ability to download anything from the entire set of self study materials, as a single mass, to a single document from the set.
Files in the FTP folders:
- nemeth.bns — the program that runs the Nemeth Code Self-Study
- nemeth.doc — Nemeth Code Self-Study documentation in MS word format
- nemeth.txt — Nemeth Code Self-Study documentation in text format
- Nemeth Code Tutorial For The Braille Lite Print Version.doc — This is the print version of the Nemeth Code tutorial for sighted individuals to accompany the accessible version of the program installed in a Braille Lite. This has not been designed for persons who are blind to learn to read and write the Nemeth Code. It was designed for use by sighted teachers who work with students who are blind.
Since the Self-Study consists of a large number of lessons, this folder also contains two sub-folders in which the lesson material is arranged in several formats which we hope will facilitate file downloading.
not_zipped — This folder contains a sub-folder for each lesson, named lesson01 through lesson18. Each of these lesson folders, in turn, contain sub-folders for each section of a lesson. Finally, the section folders contain all the material for that lesson and section. This makes it easy for the user who only wants to download specific lessons or sections, perhaps to replace files that have been misplaced or corrupted.
Floppy disk — Each of these folders contain lesson information, the Nemeth tutorial program, and documentation files. Each folder will easily fit on a floppy disk. Files are not zipped.
- Disk1 — has lessons 1-6,
- Disk2 — has lessons 7-12, and
- Disk3 — has lessons 13-18.
- zipped_files — This folder contains lesson material compressed in several arrangements:
- files_only — This folder contains a zip file which has all of the lesson materials not separated into folders, but they can be extracted to separate lesson folders.
- folders01_18 — This folder contains a zip file of all lesson material separated into lesson and section folders.
- folders01_06 — This folder contains a zip file of material for lessons one through six separated into lesson and section folders.
- folders07_12 — As above for lessons seven through twelve.
- folders13_18 — As above for lessons thirteen through eighteen.
