With MathML-in-DAISY being formally accepted as the first modular DAISY extension by the DAISY consortium, it is now possible to produce and use scientific books for the blind containing formulae which conform to an international standard. In my speech, I will describe the implementation of mathematical equations into DAISY books and the manifold possibilities arising from this application. Furthermore, a short outlook into the future of exchangeable books overcoming traditional notation obstacles will be given.
