Abstract

Mathematics manipulation accessibility is a newly discussed and introduced research area extending the general mathematics accessibility approaches on the web. This project goes further beyond what researchers already started in mathematics rendering accessibility approaches; so that the final outcome we aim into is allowing visually impaired students to have some manipulation controls over the rendered mathematical algebraic expressions; i.e. solving an equation, have a complete history of doing mathematics (algebra) in steps they perform to reach what they are looking for, exactly the same as giving them a pencil and a piece of paper to do whatever they see appropriate to get a final simplified equation or result.
