Accessible Mathematical Web Sites

Mathematical Reviews (MathSciNet) Since October 2010 this web site uses the javascript engine MathJax to display mathematical formulas. The compatibility of MathJax with VoiceOver is not perfect. Only the simple mathematical formulas are correctly read by VoiceOver when MathJax is on. It is possible to access the LaTeX source of mathematical formulas by disabling JavaScript (see disabling JavaScript).

Zentralblatt MATH

Front for the arXiv Recent preprints in mathematics are usually posted on arXiv before their publication. They can be downloaded as PDF files by clicking on the link entitled "[pdf]" in an arXiv result page or in the arXiv article page. To read PDF files with VoiceOver, one can use Preview (see Using Preview), Quick Look (see Using Finder), or TeXshop (see Using TeXshop). One can also download the TeX source of most papers by clicking on the link entitled "[src]" in the arXiv article page. By default, the source file is downloaded in the user's download folder (the name of the file is the arXiv number).

MathOverflow This is an interactive web site where one can ask and answer research-level questions in all areas of mathematics. MathOverflow uses the javascript engine MathJax to display mathematical formulas. The compatibility of MathJax with VoiceOver is not perfect. Only the simple mathematical formulas are correctly read by VoiceOver when MathJax is on. It is possible to access the LaTeX source of mathematical formulas by disabling JavaScript (see disabling JavaScript).

Images des Mathématiques (in French) Since March 2011 this web site uses the javascript engine MathJax to display mathematical formulas. The compatibility of MathJax with VoiceOver is not perfect. Only the simple mathematical formulas are correctly read by VoiceOver when MathJax is on. It is possible to access the LaTeX source of mathematical formulas by disabling JavaScript (see disabling JavaScript).

Springer Online Encyclopaedia of Mathematics In most items, mathematical formulas are displayed via inaccessible images. Recently added items use MathJax to display mathematical formulas. The compatibility of MathJax with VoiceOver is not perfect. Only the simple mathematical formulas are correctly read by VoiceOver when MathJax is on. It is possible to access the LaTeX source of the mathematical formulas in recently added items by disabling JavaScript (see disabling JavaScript).

mathematics in nLab This is a wiki for collaborative research and expository writings in various areas of mathematics with a focus on category theory. The nLab uses MathML for displaying mathematical formulas. The compatibility of MathML with VoiceOver is not very good.

Many interesting mathematical videos (Minerva Lectures, Seminaire bourbaki, etc.) are now posted on YouTube. Before 2015, watching videos on YouTube required Adobe Flash Player. Since 2015, YouTube uses HTML5 by default and does not require Flash Player anymore. The accessibility of YouTube with VoiceOver is now satisfactory. When reading a video on YouTube, press k to stop or resume, j to rewind and l to forward. To read videos posted on YouTube with VoiceOver, one may also use YouView (see Using YouView with VoiceOver).
