Re: Bessel functions in math mode
Counting can be cultural too: we count 1, 2, 3, ..., 99, ..., while some tribes count 1, 2, 3, many. But concerning Jn and Hn, note that the n there represents an integer, unlike the n in sin, say, which represents, well, the letter n. :-) Bruce Andre Poenitz wrote: On Mon, Jul 05, 2004 at 08:52:56AM -0700, Bruce Pourciau wrote: My convention says all multi-char function names are upright.

Re: Bessel functions in math mode
Your stated convention is correct, but Jn and Hn are not considered multi-character function names, but rather single-character function names with a subscript, and as such they should be typeset in italic.

They have to be upright like sin, cos etc.
You can define your own macro for 'Jn' if you write the following line
into the preamble:
\DeclareMathOperator{\Jn}{Jn}
If you type now the command \Jn in a formula, you'll get the same as if
you type \sin - upright letters with a half space before them.
