To typeset a value with a subscript I use this:
$U_{\text{res}}$
Which results in:
Now I'd like to write "the minimum value of Ures", how would I correctly typeset that?
The first thing I tried was
$U_{\text{res}_{\text{min}}}$
but that doesn't really look good. A coworker suggested
$U_{\text{res,min}}}$
but I'm also not sure if it's correct, and as part of a larger formula it seems to take up too much horizontal space:
$U_{\mathrm{trig}} \geqslant blahbah$
. And, in the first of the equalities you display, you might consider using \left(\right) around the first term of the product, so that, the braces expand according the size of what goes inside them. – kan Apr 27 '13 at 18:18\text

is fine but heremax
is not a word it is essentially a math operator and should come from the math operator font to match\log
or\sin
etc and that will be the math roman font and not change depending on the outer text content. – David Carlisle Apr 27 '13 at 20:09
