Project description
Many old books, like Al Khwarizmi's algebra book, which don't use mathematical notation but word description. They can be converted to use mathematical notation with LaTeX.
For example, "an unknown value/object" can be translated as x.
I have done something similar. Checkout my project The Foolish Dictionary. I converted the dictionary by same name into machine readable formats including Stardict, JSON, Tabfile and more.
Another similar work, On Elements by Euclid is also available on Gutenberg.
Relevant Technology
NLP, regular expressions, Git, OCR, Python, mathematical notation, academic writing, Latex, Bash scripting.
OCR likely won't be needed as we will be using books provided by Project Gutenberg.
