You might try contacting someone at Transkribus to see if mathematical notes have ever been transcribed. It wouldn't surprise me if someone has already worked on a project like this. Since you have such a huge amount of data it would probably be easy to train
a model on the kind of handwriting and layout that was used most often and then have that machine learning applied to the other hundreds of pages of writing. The models seem to be agnostic to whether what is written is a number or a letter, it figures out
numerical dates easy enough. </div>
