Hi Sue,
Scientific NoteBook is a popular Maths publishing program used
Internationally which produces LaTeX files. See:-
http://www.mackichan.com/ and
http://www.techno-vision.co.uk/scientificnotebook.htm
Files produced in Scientific NoteBook can then be imported directly into
the Duxbury Braille Translation Program, and converted into British
Maths Braille. See:- http://www.techno-vision.co.uk/duxbury.htm

> has applied to other Russell Group universities!

> Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
