$\blacktriangleright$    To enter a math name

If you type the name while in mathematics, the program inserts the math name directly into your document at the insertion point. If you use the button or the command, the program displays the Math Name dialog box so that you can select the math name you want.

Some functions can have limitsLimit.tex. To add limits to a function, use the SubscriptSubscripts.tex and SuperscriptSuperscripts.tex commands. The program automatically places limits to the right when a function is in-lineInline_math.tex, and above and below when a function is displayedDisplayed_math.tex. You can override the default in the Math Name dialog box when you enter a new function or when you revise an existing function. We recommend the AutoAuto.tex default setting whenever possible. You set the defaults for entering math names from the Math tab sheetMath_defaults.tex in the User SetupUser_setup.tex dialog box.

You can create multicharacter math namesCreating_math_names.tex for use in mathematics.
