  • $\begingroup$ It is a mostly readability - "ab" would of course work as a variable, but ultimately I want to print my worksheets and then have them look nice. I've been using the Palettes (Basic Math Assistant) for graphical fractions etc. for that very purpose. Am I confusing Mathematica too much with LaTeX? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2018 at 14:59
  • $\begingroup$ @Wasserwaage In what context does Subscript[a, b] (or Subscript["a", "b"]) not work as a variable? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2018 at 15:01
  • $\begingroup$ It works, I am just trying to keep the potential for errors in my worksheet to a minimum - and defining Subscript[a,b] would have seemed like a sensible way to do that. Thanks! $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2018 at 15:20
