Example of subscript and superscript. In each example the first "2" is professionally designed, and is included as part of the glyph set; the second "2" is a manual approximation using a small version of the standard "2". The visual weight of the first "2" matches the other characters better.
The entry of a matrix A is written using two indices, say i and j, with or without commas to separate the indices: a ij or a i,j, where the first subscript is the row number and the second is the column number. Juxtaposition is also used as notation for multiplication; this may be a source of confusion. For example, if
2 2 = 4 using 2{{sup|2}} = 4 Special care is needed with subscripted labels to distinguish the purpose of the subscript (as this is a common error): variables and constants in subscripts should be italic, while textual labels should be in normal text font (Roman, upright).
Adding display=inline renders exponents lower, especially under square roots, often resulting in a smaller square root which fits better in inline text: compare <math> \sqrt {x ^ 2+y ^ 2} </math> to <math display=inline> \sqrt {x ^ 2+y ^ 2} </math> which render as + and +, respectively.
Multi-index notation is a mathematical notation that simplifies formulas used in multivariable calculus, partial differential equations and the theory of distributions, by generalising the concept of an integer index to an ordered tuple of indices.

[2] [3] Applying the canonical pairing to the kth V factor and the lth V ∗ factor, and using the identity on all other factors, defines the (k, l) contraction operation, which is a linear map that yields a tensor of type (m − 1, n − 1). [2] By analogy with the (1, 1) case, the general contraction operation is sometimes called the trace.
It is common convention to use greek indices when writing expressions involving tensors in Minkowski space, while Latin indices are reserved for Euclidean space. Well-formulated expressions are constrained by the rules of Einstein summation : any index may appear at most twice and furthermore a raised index must contract with a lowered index.
