Mathematical ASL?



I have a deaf student in an "advanced" class. He has an
interpreter rendering ASL, great.

But it's occurred to me that there may be a problem here,
because I'm not speaking English in class, I'm speaking
"mathematical English". For example "sequence" and
"series" are synonyms in English, so I'd guess that
they might be translated to ASL in the same way, but
if so that would be a disaster, because they mean
very different things in mathematical English.

Hence the question: Is anyone out there aware of a
standardized "mathematical ASL", and if so can you tell
me where to find information on the topic? Or does
someone have experience/suggestions on what to do about
this is general?
