The original model of the infinite square well contains a vague notation infinity and therefore results some ambiguities. We investigate to obtain a functional form for the potential energy V(x). This is done by substituting back the original energy eigenstates and eigenvalues into the Schrodinger equation. We then obtain a precise functional form of the V(x). From this reformed model, we show that energy eigenstates and eigenvalues can directly be obtained without the need of imposing boundary condition, Ehrenfest's theorem can directly be confirmed, and ambiguities in the original model can be resolved.
