Re: [EXTERNAL] Some braille references

(Sorry for having to top post from a lame interface.)

I am not read into the Braille context, but:

The integral, or indefinite integral, starts with the integral sign (dots 2-3-4-6). Then it is followed by the function and ends with dx.

I'm dubious about this statement -- what happens when the 'dx' is in the numerator? . . .

FWIW: There are mathematical contexts where no 'd' (as differential operator) would appear in an integral, e.g.,
where the integral is applied to a symbol defined elsewhere that is a differential form (of some degree, possibly different from 1) and, in particular, in the integral of a differential 0-form.

I'm dubious about this statement -- what happens when the 'dx' is in the numerator? I looked in the green book, and in the section about integrals, it only has examples where the 'dx' is at the end (also true for the APH tutorial). Does anyone who knows Nemeth well know the answer?

Another practical bit I liked from that talk was a short description of "common issues in Nemeth code transcriptions" from a practitioner writing such materials

Interesting to see that she highlights the parts that I called out in my original email (makes me feel like I know more than I do :-)
