[Corpora-List] corpus of mathematical equations

[Martin Wynne]

I don't thank that what you refer to would be a 'corpus' in the sense 
that is understood by linguists, and on this mailing list.

Many a linguistic corpus includes some mathematical or other texts which 
contain equations, but these are very unlikely to be analysed in any 
way, since the corpus would have been constructed for the purposes of 
linguistic research, and the corpus creator or annotator wouldn't expect 
users to be interested in the content or meaning of the equations.

A collection of equations wouldn't be a text or a collection of texts, 
and wouldn't be a linguistic corpus. It might exist, but I don't think 
you'll find it here!
