Emily,

If you are looking for a non-paper embossed or sonification of
mathematical code, check out the Triangle software program developed by
blind physicist John Gardner at Oregon State University in Corvallis,
Oregon.

You can learn more about Triangle in a conference paper John produced
along with Randy Lundquist and Steve Sahyun in 1996.  They presented at
the proceedings of the ICAD96 International Conference on Audio Display,
San Francisco, CA, November, 1996

the paper is titled "TRIANGLE: A Practical Application of Non-Speech
Audio for Imparting Information" and is available at:

I hope this helps.

Kelly
