>engineers honestly believe the Dirac Delta is a function

It's properly fubction, it's just not a real valued function.

generalized functions are functions

>physicists honestly blieve Kelvins are degrees

My man

Anyone here have a link to a paper/pdf/video something you recommend that deals with the Dirac Delta rigorously? I am only interested in its mathematical properties, not applications.

define "function"

It's a distribution
Same thing, really

>>8903747
Technically a distribution is a linear mapping and hence a function.

Though technically a vector in R^n is a function {1,...,n} -> R as well.
In fact, once you redefine the real numbers as the special case n=1, there doesn't seem to be anything in analysis that [math]isn't[/math] a function.

"degrees Kelvin"

American maths education is truly pathetic

Paul Dirac was a more-talented Mathematician than you'll ever become.
