In LaTeX, we can write
$T_{\textsc{max}}$
In plain TeX, we can do thing like
\font\scshape=cmcsc10
{\scashape max}
.
But this method does not work inside $$. We cannot write
$T_{{\scshape max}}$
So is there any way to make it work?

Without defining a math family:
\font\tensc=cmcsc10
\font\sevensc=cmcsc10 at 7pt
\font\fivesc=cmcsc10 at 5pt
\def\mathsc#1{{\mathchoice
{\hbox{\tensc#1}}
{\hbox{\tensc#1}}
{\hbox{\sevensc#1}}
{\hbox{\fivesc#1}}
}}
$\mathsc{Max}(T) = T_\mathsc{Max}$

$T_{\hbox{\scshape max}}$

isn't in plain. – David Carlisle Mar 30 '13 at 21:08
