About This Book
Overall significant work was done on this version of the text to improve the accessibility and format from the import from Lyryx.
MathJax
All mathematical notation was written in LaTeX to allow for MathJax functionality.
Please note that “some screen readers support MathML, MathJax’s internal format. Screen readers like ChromeVox, JAWS (on IE), and TextHelp support MathJax directly (most only version 2); other screen readers are supported by the assistive-mml extension as of version 3.0.1.” (MathJax Consortium, 2021). It is important to also note that the quality of screen reader support varies greatly with the software you are using and the various settings enabled. For more information on MathJax and screen reader support please visit the MathJax Consortium Accessibility Features page.
Formatting Changes
In addition the following formatting changes were made:
- The majority of images that included math where replaced with LaTeX
- Examples were reformatted into steps for ease of understanding. The PUPP method was replaced with a step by step method for examples.
