With all honesty I find myself in difficulty to understand how the rules of switching in quantum mechanics work. I need these to understand and to prove the Heisemberg uncertainty principle. For example, with the rules of commutation, I would like to prove that $$\Delta p_y \cdot\Delta y \geq \frac{\hslash}2\tag{1}$$ My starting point is: $[A,B]=AB-BA \tag{a}$ Now, **why** $$\left[\frac{\partial }{\partial x},x\right]\stackrel{?}{=}1 \tag{2}$$ I have thought, from the rule (a), $$\left[\frac{\partial }{\partial x},x\right]=\frac{\partial }{\partial x}x-x\frac{\partial }{\partial x}=1-\ldots$$ This identity $$\left[x,\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\right]=-1$$ is easy because $[A,B]=-[B,A]$. **After, why,** $$\left[i\hslash\frac {\partial}{\partial x},x\right]=i\hslash \tag{3}$$ $$[p_x,x]=i\hslash \tag{4}$$ I have also these information that I have not understood: \begin{equation} \frac{\partial(xf(x))}{\partial x}-x\frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x}=f(x)+x \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}-x\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=f(x) \end{equation} $$\left[x,\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\right]\cdot f(x)=\frac{\partial(xf(x))} {\partial x}-x\frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x}=f(x)$$ [![enter image description here][1]][1] *In other words, you can help me understand how I can get the demonstration of the Heisemberg uncertainty principle or point to a very simple book where I can find the demonstration of these switches. I have never studied quantum mechanics.* I thank in advance anyone who could help me. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/G2pNE.png
