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

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. Bruce Pourciau Andre Poenitz wrote: On Mon, Jun 14, 2004 at 01:16:04PM +0200,

Hello, list, Does anybody know, what is the convention for putting special functions such as Bessel and Hankel functions in math formulas. Are they supposed to be italicized like variables, or in math-text font, like sin, cos, tan, etc. Cos there is no macro for Jn and Hn in the math palette.
