The Technical Signs Project done at NTID is a series of videotapes. I
can check to see if there are actually books/dictionaries developed
along with these. HOWEVER, it is my understanding that this project
focussed on what signs *interpreters* were currently using in the
classroom at that time. It does NOT represent what is necessarily
promulagted and accepted in the Deaf community at large. My suggestion
would be to see how culturally Deaf people use their language to talk
about math. I'm struggling over this exact issue myself.... Laurie
