Key Equations

$$V(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & 0 < x < a \\ \infty & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
$$\psi_n(x) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{a}}\sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{a}\right), \quad n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$$
$$\int_0^a \psi_n^*(x)\psi_m(x)dx = \delta_{nm}$$
$$\langle x \rangle_n = \frac{a}{2}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
