Key Equations

$$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$$
$$[\hat{L}_x, \hat{L}_y] = i\hbar\hat{L}_z$$
$$[\hat{L}^2, \hat{L}_i] = 0 \quad \text{for } i = x,y,z$$
$$\hat{L}_-|\ell,m\rangle = \hbar\sqrt{\ell(\ell+1) - m(m-1)}|\ell,m-1\rangle$$

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