Non Visual Access to Mathematical Contents : State of the Art and Prospective

Access to Mathematics using non visual modalities have always been very difficult for blind people, and especially pupils at school. We will analyse the reasons of these difficulties and give an overview of the State of the Art. Then we will discuss Accessible Maths contents, doing calculus, and ideas about perspectives in this field.
