Spring Semester 2027, 2 cr.
Thursdays 3:35 to 5:30 p.m.. This course is taught in-person, and not remotely or by Zoom.
Syllabus items and lectures are accessible with readily available tools. Microsoft Edge, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and NVDA are among the free software available for support of PDF documents, LaTeX, MathJack and others. Learn more about Acrobat Reader and NVDA. Generally, it is necessary to download the pdf document first to your desktop, then open in the specific application, and use the tools and extensions available for reading aloud.
Equations are read most naturally by installing NVDA, and activating it after downloading one of the MathJack compatible files. The LaTeX equation files provide a better visual display and are more suitable for printing and writing.
Using Chrome or Brave? You may need to periodically clear "cached images and files" (under Settings/Privacy and Settings/Delete Browsing Data) in order to download the latest file version.
