I want to typeset something like this:
[...] $y = \exp(x)$, where $\exp$ is the exponential function.
However, I don't like that $\exp$
is not at all emphasized in the text. What are good alternatives? Is leaving math mode a good idea?
[...] $y = \exp(x)$, where \textit{exp} is the exponential function.
Somehow, this does not seem very elegant.

I would not recommend changing the font style, I would rather add some redundant information, such as the definition of
exp
, or set it in quotes.
