I am currently in my last year at school, but am pretty sure that I will taking Maths in college next year. I have cerebral palsy and currently relay on my teaching assistants to scribe for me because of all the notations etc. Whilst I know it is possible to do equations and things on MS Word it is rather time consuming and there are some limitations, especially now that I am starting an FSMQ course.
Having a scribe is absolutely fine is lessons, but when it comes to the exams - the exam boards are so strict that I literally have to describe every notation, even if the scribe knows what I mean. So I am looking for some software that will, essentially, do what my scribe is doing now. I realise that nothing will probably be as fast as a scribe, but even if just I use it in the exam, it would be much easier for me than explaining every notation.
I can type faster than I can use the mouse, so if possible, I'd like the software to be as keyboard based as possible. Any solutions, suggestions, or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Have you considered learning LaTex ? It's free, there is lots of online support, it's the standard for producing journal-quality mathematical output, and if you intend studying maths at college/university then it definitely be useful for your assignments and homework too. There is a bit of a learning curve, but if you use it often you will be able to master it quite quickly and you don't need to use a mouse.
