The primary purpose ot this fiole is to demonstrate that there are important differences between the operator and tunction equalities which arise in using the Heisenberg equation ot motion [1] (EOM) in maDy-body physics and chemistry. The pedagogical remarks presented here are offered in the hope that they will help others to avoid drawing talse conclusions because ot a Jack ot understanding. Let us begin by assuming that we are treating a system which consists ot electrons moving in the potential field V(i') ot one or maTe fixed positively charged nuclei, such as would be the case tor electrons in a molecule. Then the many-electron Hamiltonian H tan be writtenin second quantization notation [2] (in atomic units) as
