@FedericoPoloni I'm sure you're right, my field isn't mathematics. I did also try with a function ($f(x)$) but that wasn't as clear so I didn't suggest it.

This goes against the common conventions in mathematical texts, however. I would consider the tt font appropriate only if you are speaking about the computer implementation of a function in a programming language, not about a mathematical function.
