Mathematical formula with two-dimensional structure has a variety of meanings. But the visually-impaired couldn't see and recognize the special structure of the mathematical formula. So reading and understanding of the mathematical formula has brought many difficulties for the visually-impaired learning. For the mathematical information accessibility, we develop a set of mathematical formula pronunciation rules. The rules determine the scope of the operator in the mathematical expressions by the indicators. In addition, the definition of the Atomic Formulas has reduced the redundancy of the indicators. By learning the MathAL rules, it is proved that mathematical formula ambiguity has dropped to 8.5\% and the length of the pronunciation has shortened by 15.6\%. The pronunciation is more in line with the reading habit of mathematical formula.
