Detroiter Dr. Nemeth Invited
to Soviet Conclave on Teaching
Computer Programing to Blind

The Soviet Union has in-
vited Detroit mathematics
professor Abraham Nemeth
to take part in a November
conference on training the

science courses.
Among the obvious diffi-
culties facing the blind com-
puter programer is reading
the yards of printout from
the computer. Thus, he must
program the machine to give
not a printout but a "Braille-
out" that can be read with
the fingers. A second prob-
lem. Dr. Nemeth said, is the
lack of training manuals in
Brail' e.
Through his code, the
blind are offered techniques
for handling computer nota-
tion in Braille.
