I am just getting back into nemeth transcribing and have a question regarding underlining.
EXAMPLE QUESTION:
Write the place of each underlined digit. Then write its value.
1. 4,559 (the 4 is underlined in print)
2. 55,303 (the first three after the comma is underlined in print)
…In this case, would I use italics for the underlined number and then repeat the number indicator, just as we do when the number is italicized?
The only other option I see to use is the 5 step rule, but nothing is being modified here, is it? I am not a mathmatician!Thanks for your help.
I just looked in the old forum and found a couple of posts that addressed this issue. I see that the 5-step method is the correct way to handle underlined numbers, according to the code.
I am referring to the Five-Step Rule for Transcribing Modified Expressions. You can find it in the “Nemeth Braille Code For Mathematics”. Rule XIV (p. 99). I also like to refer the the lesson book “An Introduction to Braille Mathematics”. Lesson 11 (p. 187) expains it very clearly and has some good examples.
