Using UEB for Mathematics (PDF)
by RnibThis book is a guide to representing mathematics in Unified English Braille. In 2007 Using the Braille Mathematics Code was produced by RNIB on behalf of RNIB/VIEW Mathematics Curriculum Group. It listed all the symbols a student would need up to and including GCSE level maths and gave examples of their use. Following the adoption of Unified English Braille (UEB) it became necessary to revise and update Using the Braille Mathematics Code. This booklet is the result. This book is a guide to representing mathematics in UEB. Covering topics such as numbers and arithmetic signs, superscripts and subscripts, square roots, fractions and decimals, unit abbreviations, date and time, algebra, trigonometry and geometry, Greek letters, vectors and matrices; this book is a practical guide for those wanting to show maths in UEB. The book also includes appendices giving examples of set-out arithmetic calculations, a list of symbols and details on the use of the grade 1 indicator. If you would like a hard copy print or braille edition these can be purchased through RNIB's Online Shop: rnib.org.uk (Print TC21445, Braille TC21446).
Using UEB for Science (PDF)
by RnibThis book is a guide to representing science in Unified English Braille and is intended for use by all those who are involved with the teaching of science to students who use braille as their main medium for communication. The previous edition was published in 2008 and was based on Braille Science Notation BAUK/RNIB 2008. This document contains examples of most of the common units of measurement and chemical symbols found in the Key Stage 3, Key stage 4, and Advanced level curricula. The examples are not meant to be exhaustive but should act as a guide to solving the common problems which occur when transcribing science notation into Unified English Braille. Major topics covered in this book are numbers and maths, unit abbreviations, chemistry, physics (including circuit diagrams) and genetics. This book is a guide to representing science in Unified English Braille. If you would like a hard copy print or braille edition, these can be purchased through RNIB's Online Shop: rnib.org.uk/shop (Print TC21448, Braille TC21449).
