Aspects of Mathematical Expression Analysis in Arabic Handwriting

We address the question of recognizing handwritten mathematics in Arabic and related languages. After presenting an overview of the major styles used to express mathematics in these settings we outline potential problems specific to the representations. Finally, we discuss how some existing strategies for on-line analysis of handwritten mathematics can be adapted for this context.
