"The world is too full of factors to discourage students who cannot see from pursuing a career in science and math; hopefully this article can serve to at least minimally offset that imbalance."
I was reading "Thinking Of Mathematics — An Essay On Eyes-free Computing" [ PDF version ] & found it inspiring. T. V. Raman's analysis of "Eyes-free mathematics" & his application of Herman Helmholtz's theories to attempt & understand his own creative thinking are excellent.
T.V Raman was unable to see since the age of 14. He narrates his thought process on problem solving, modeled on Herman Helmholtz's three stages of creativity: saturation, incubation and illumination. He shares his experiences on solving interesting problems like a Mental Calendar, Solving The Rubik’s Cube, etc.
The essay is truly a wonderful & inspiring read.
