There are several Braille signs used in mathematics, commonly known as Nemeth Braille, proposed by Dr. Abraham Nemeth in 1952. Blind from birth, but Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of Detroit, US, he proposed a system which has gained universal acceptance in the world since its creation.
The following answer uses the numbers 1 to 6 to make transcription easier. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 represent the dots top left, middle left, and bottom left respectively, while the numbers 4, 5, and 6 represent the dots top right, middle right, and bottom right respectively.
Numbers:
The digits 0 - 9 are prefixed with a digit indicator, 3,4,5,6 - but are otherwise represented in the same way as the letter J (zero is represented with the same symbol as the letter J, prefixed by a number indicator), and the letters A to I (once again prefixed by a number indicator).
The digits are as follows:
0 - 2,4,5
1 - 1
2 - 1,2
3 - 1,4
4 - 1,4,5
5 - 1,5
6 - 1,2,4
7 - 1,2,4,5
8 - 1,2,5
9 - 2,4
For the numbers from 10 to 99, two symbols follow the number indicator, simply representative of which digits compose the numbers.
Similarly for three-digit numbers, four-digit numbers, for any number of digits you care to name.
Operator signs:
The five basic operator signs are represented by the following:
Plus - 3,4,6
Minus - 3,6
Multiplication - 4 1,6 (two different symbols)
Dot multiplier (•) - 1,6
Divide - 4,6 3,4 (two different symbols)
Equals - 4,6 1,3 (two different symbols)
Decimal point - 4,6
Square root sign - 3,4,5
Index of radical (that is, representing n for the nth root of x): 1,2,6. (This is then succeeded by the braille digit representing the nth root, rather than preceding it, like in conventional notation).
Inner radical indicator: 4,6
Second inner radical indicator: 4,6 4,6 (two different symbols)
End of first radical indicator: 4,6 1,2,4,5,6 (two different symbols)
End of second radical indicator: 4,6 4,6 1,2,4,5,6 (three different symbols)
Not: 3,4
Therefore: Is not equal to will be represented by the "NOT" symbol followed by the "EQUALS symbol", as above.
Long division: 1,3,5
Factorial: 1,2,3,4,6
Brackets
Opening round bracket: 1,2,3 5,6
Closing round bracket: 2,3,4,5,6
Opening square bracket: 4 1,2,3,5,6 (two symbols)
Closing square bracket: 4 2,3,4,5,6 (two symbols)
Opening brace bracket { : 4,6 1,2,3,5,6 (two symbols)
Closing brace bracket } : 4,6 2,3,4,5,6 (two symbols)
Therefore sign: 6, 1,6 (two symbols)
Ratio symbol (colon): 5 2 (two symbols)
Infinity: 6, 1,2,3,4,5,6 (two symbols)
Degree (angles): 4,6 1,6 (two symbols)
Percentage sign: 4, 3,5,6 (two symbols)
Superscript indicator: 4,5 (appears before indices and so on)
Subscript indicator: 5,6 (used for position in a vector/set)
Signs of comparison:
Greater than: 4,6 2 (two different symbols)
Less than: 2 1,3 (two different symbols)
Greater than or equal to: 4,6 2 1,5,6 (three different symbols)
Less than or equal to: 5 1,3 1,5,6 (three different symbols)
Is not equal to: 3,4 4,6 1,3 (three different symbols)
Is approximately equal to: 4 1,5,6 4 1,5,6 (four different symbols)
Plus or minus: 3,4,6 3,6 (two different symbols)
Minus or plus: 3,6 3,4,6 (two different symbols)
This is a list of the most commonly used symbols. If there are any others that you wish to know, please say so on the talk page, which I am keeping an eye on.

the instruments in mathematics
yes infacted i wanted to learn braille for a project at school and believe it or not its really easy to learn. what i did to learn was that i used not cards and then memorized what they looked like and then i would feel the braille cell and next thing you know i know how to read braille.

Louis Braille (as he was called) created a system where each letter of the alphabet was represented by a number of (maximum: 6) dots. For making those dots he originally used a stitching awl.
Yes Braille is used all round the world, including Australia.
Braille is used all over the world, but was originated in France.
braille
The form of Braille used in FireRed and LeafGreen is a visual representation of the language of touch used by the blind. A braille chart can be used to decipher the messages in the Sealed and Island Caves.
A braille unit is a standard measurement used in braille to determine the width and height of each character. It consists of six dots arranged in two columns and three rows, which can be used to represent letters, numbers, and symbols in the braille alphabet.
No, Louis Braille did not get a patent on Braille. He created the Braille system in 1824 as a method for people with visual impairments to read and write. Braille is now used worldwide as a standard tactile writing system.
when louis Braille was a kid he accidentally stabed his eye out
The braille language was first used in 1824 by Louis Braille, a blind Frenchman. He invented the tactile writing system to help blind and visually impaired people read and write.
Abraham Nemeth has written: 'The Nemeth braille code for mathematics and science notation' -- subject(s): Blind, Printing and writing systems, Mathematical notation 'The Nemeth code of Braille mathematics' -- subject(s): Blind, Books and reading, Printing and writing systems, Mathematical notation
It is used by blind people.
It was invented not discovered by Louis Braille.
A braille reader does not exist in Pokemon Ruby or any Pokemon game with braille used as a puzzle. Translating the braille for yourself is very simple if you print off a braille alphabet sheet.
