Abstract or Additional Information
This is the second talk about the strange world of GFs (generalized functions) which are also called distributions. Last time we talked about regular (classical) functions that are commonly used in courses of college algebra and calculus and saw why and how this class of functions can be extended to the class of GFs. This time we will take a closer look to some properties of GFs, consider several nice and unusual results, and see why GFs do not form an algebra.
