Claim One:
1. A machine-implemented method for recognizing a handwritten mathematical expression, the machine-implemented method comprising: partitioning a plurality of strokes of the handwritten mathematical expression, included in a region having at least one non-terminal object, into one or more groups of two regions; repeating the act of partitioning on ones of regions included in the one or more groups of two regions having a non-terminal object; using a first recognizer and a second recognizer to calculate first scores and second scores, respectively, of chart entries representing grammar objects formed from one or more strokes included in the regions; calculating first converted scores and second converted scores from the first scores and the second scores, respectively; determining a respective converted score for each of the regions based on highest scores selected from corresponding first converted scores and corresponding second converted scores; recognizing the plurality of strokes of the mathematical expression based on finding highest converted scores of partitioning of the plurality of strokes.
