Distributions are linear functionals that act on a space of smooth test functions. Distributions make it possible to differentiate functions whose derivatives do not exist in the classical sense. In particular, any locally integrable function has a distributional derivative. There are different possible choices for the space of test functions, leading to different spaces of distributions. In this report, we take a look at some basic theory of distributions and their Fourier transforms. And we also solve some typical exercises at the end.en-US© the author.
