Math & Science ⇒ character under word

[hvn]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a character under a word and tried max_{a'} but that just gives subscript. What I want is a' right in the middle under max. How can I do that?
Thanks.

Declare an operator and tell LaTex (with the asterisk) to put subscripts below it.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\DeclareMathOperator*{\maxa}{max}

\begin{document}
  $$ \maxa_{a'} = \frac{\pi}{2} $$
\end{document}

Thank you very much.
