The Nemeth Uniform Braille System (NUBS) is a comprehensive methodology for transcribing of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into braille for use by the blind. This system is an outgrowth of the Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation, developed in the 1950s for transcribing braille mathematics. It was created by Dr. Abraham Nemeth, a blind mathematician. Adopted in the United States in 1952, it has been exclusively used since that time.
NUBS combines techniques encompassing all STEM fields into a braille system that unifies presentation of material in these fields into a rational technology that presents braille uniformly and logically across all STEM fields.
Dr. Nemeth began documenting this update in the late 1990s. His work includes examples of the method and describes in detail the logic behind decisions on everything from braille dot assignments to formatting of the material to assist the blind reader. Original aspects of the Nemeth code were maintained to preserve what had been done while building a broader base to include newer STEM fields and concepts. The Alliance for Braille Literacy condensed this lengthy description into a manual geared to assist transcribers and readers in using this code.
This volume is PART One which lays out the basics of NUBS. While strikingly similar to the original Nemeth code and basic literary braille, it provides just the requisite amount of change to upgrade braille from its early years and take into account its present and future.
Decades of blind students have excelled in mathematics and computer science based on the original Nemeth code. Now with the release of Part One, and soon Part Two, this legacy will continue and expand into as many decades, if not more, for the future of blind users.
