In the United States, the developer of the system died, which allowed the blind to engage in mathematics

In the United States, at the age of 94, the inventor of Abraham Nemet died, who developed a system that allowed blind people to engage in mathematics, geometry, physics and other exact sciences.

The scientist died in his house in the suburbs of Detroit (Michigan), on Wednesday, October 2, from acute heart failure, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to relatives of the American researcher.

Nemet, who was deprived of the ability to see from birth, was extremely carried away by mathematics in his youth. To engage in this science, however, blindness interfered with him. To compensate for it, the researcher created the so -called Nemet code in 1952.

The basis of this code was based on the brail code - a relief -point font for writing and reading blind. In it, letters and symbols are indicated using combinations of six points.

The American scientist significantly finalized this cipher and, in particular, made it suitable for writing mathematical symbols and complex scientific formulas.

Nemeta code is currently used blind around the world. In addition to it, other systems are also used.
