Superscripts

A comma in subscripts and superscripts sometimes is omitted; it is also ambiguous notation.

A further complication is the use of numeric superscripts to distinguish neighboring stars that Bayer (or a later astronomer) labeled with a common letter.

Battisti (2000) Fonetica generale, p 224 Superscripts are especially used when an on- or off-glide is particularly fleeting.

Descartes introduced the use of superscripts to denote exponents as well.

For each of these key components he provides a letter designation (with superscripts to designate specific subtypes).

He also "pioneered the standard notation" that uses superscripts to show the powers or exponents; for example, the 4 used in x 4 to indicate squaring of squaring.

In cases where the set of indexing numbers is understood, the subscripts and superscripts are often left off.

In the table, the subscripts and superscripts after give additional quantum mechanical details about the electronic state.

In this case, the components may be denoted by superscripts.

These are limited to a single typographic line of symbols, which may include subscripts and superscripts.

Throughout, upper indices (superscripts) are contravariant indices rather than exponents except when they indicate a square (this is should be clear from the context), and lower indices (subscripts) are covariant indices.
