This is the test of equation \ref{num1} (but ( eqref(num1) )\eqref{num1} also works)
\begin{equation}
\sqrt{b^2} = \pm b
\label{num1}
\end{equation}
In equation \eqref{eq:sample}, we find the value of an
interesting integral:
\begin{equation}
\int_0^\infty \frac{x^3}{e^x-1}\,dx = \frac{\pi^4}{15}
\label{eq:sample}
\end{equation}

The Hamiltonian for the Harmonic Oscillator is
\begin{equation}\frac{p^2}{2\mu} + \frac{k}{2} x^2
\end{equation}
where p is the momentum operator and x is the postition operator. We know that the Schrödinger prescription is
\begin{equation}p \rightarrow - \boldsymbol{i} \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x}
\end{equation}
while $x \rightarrow x$, as usual. This means, as we well know, that the commutator of $x$ and $p$ is non-zero.
(Note that we've dropped the operator subscript.)
<h2>
The commutator: $[\alpha,\beta]$</h2>
\begin{equation*}
[p,x]f =( px - xp)f = -\boldsymbol{i} \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x}xf -
x(-\boldsymbol{i} \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x}f)
\end{equation*}
where $f(x) \mapsto f$,
which leads to
\begin{equation*}
[p,x]f =( px - xp)f = -f\boldsymbol{i} \hbar \frac{\partial x}{\partial x} +
x \left (-\boldsymbol{i} \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\right )f -
x\left (-\boldsymbol{i} \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x}f\right )
\end{equation*}
which means, of course,
\begin{equation}
[p,x] = px - xp = -\boldsymbol{i} \hbar
\end{equation}
<br />
<h2>
The Ladder Operators Construction</h2>
For the Harmonic Oscillator, we form the two operators
\begin{equation}
a^+ = p + \boldsymbol{i} \mu\omega x
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
a^- = p - \boldsymbol{i} \mu\omega x
\end{equation}
which differ solely by that intervening sign
(Remember that $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{\mu}}$).
The entire derivation now hinges on the properties of these two operators.
We start with the elementary question, what is the commutator of $a^+$ and
$a^-$?

Van der Waals coexistence locus
The coexistence locus for liquid vapor equilibrium of a van der Waals fluid can be obtained exactly. The wxMaxima code for obtaining it is shown below the figure.

vg(x) := -1/6*(4*x*exp(2*x) - exp(4*x) + 1)*exp(x)/(x*exp(3*x) + x*exp(x)
- exp(3*x) + exp(x)) + 1/3
T(d) :=

- exp(4*d) + 1)*exp(d)/(d*exp(3*d) + d*exp(d)
- exp(3*d) + exp(d)) - 2)^2)
pl(d) := 8*T(d)/(3*vl(d)-1)-3/vl(d)^2
s2:parametric(vl(d),pl(d),d,0.01,0.9)$
wxdraw2d(nticks=21,line_width=2,color=red,key="gas",s1,line_width=2,color=blue,key="liquid",s2,
xlabel="p_r",ylabel="v_r",terminal = 'png,file_name = "vdw8_out");
/*wxdraw3 draws here; else draw3 draws in rotatable gnuplot window and
draw_file(terminal = 'png, file_name = "~/Desktop/vdw8_out");*/
To put the first plot (above) in context, below is the pseudo-3D plot of the same coexistence locus, this time showing the explicit temperature (reduced) dependence. The above plot can be thought of as placing one's eyes along the reduced temperatue axis at a high value of T, and looking backwards at the p-V projection.
