    Is it necessary to put Nemeth indicators around answers that have negative numbers?

    Example

     

    A. -1

    B. -5

    C. -13

    D. -11

     

    Thanks

    The answer is yes

    I found the answer in AN INTRODUCTION TO BRAILLE MATHEMATICS USING NEMETH CODE WITHIN UEB CONTEXTS.

    Hi Susan. I'm glad you found your answer before I could get back to you! Yes, a negative number or a minus sign with a numeral is considered to be a "modification" of the number and so is done in Nemeth Code. The four identifiers (A. B. C. D.) can also be done in Nemeth, keeping code switching to a minimum.
