Do you have plans to collect Mathematics texts? #2

Most of the Mathematics texts in Sanskrit are by astronomers, so I think they can be collected/digitized under this topic. I am no expert in Jyotisham but I am quite interested in Mathematics.

The old texts are available in archive DOT org, but I have not seen a compiled list anywhere (not that I did an exhaustive search). I recently taught a 10-hour course on the initial Mathematics part (as with any astronomy text) of Sadratnamala, the most recent of Kerala astronomy texts.

When I was teaching, I felt the need for collecting all these texts in one place, and may be also digitizing them all in future. May be we could follow the same procedure you are using for other class of books to the group of Mathematics texts as well? What procedure do you follow?
