Nous nommons par commodité Delta la différence (1) moins (2) si (1) est supérieur à (2) ou zéro dans le cas contraire.
I'm aware that Delta is a weighting system, but I'm having trouble reworking this sentence. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

delta
For convenience we use delta as a variable for the difference (1) minus (2) if (1) is greater than (2) or zero in the opposite case.
delta is a conventional name for any difference in maths.

: "As a variable" is definitely misleading. Why not 'we use "Delta" to denote...'? (I have no idea why "Delta" is capitalized here, but I would assume there is a reason and leave it.)
