Dirac Delta Function

The Dirac Delta Function and how to integrate it. Several examples are given.

You have no idea how much this video has helped me! Thank you so much. Your method was easy to follow and you explain very well. Thanks!

[machatambi]

you explained that like a boss. had a lecturer confuse everyone trying to explain it in a whole lecture. Great stuff, appreciate it

[Jamesb]

10 or almost 11 years old video is being watched in 2022, thanks

[kvnzng]

Thank you. Two-minutes into the video, I understood how to integrate with Dirac Delta Function, but more importantly WHY it works.

[DovahKiinActual]

thank you sir! i have no idea why my prof couldn't just explained it the way the way you did instead of talking for 30 mins going no where, I'm subscribing to your channel

[mattschembri]

Youre the best. I have a final in 6 hours and I didn't know this would be on the test until just now.

[gabe]

Even today your video helped me understand the Dirac function. Thank you so much!

[AirBiscuit]

Excellent, quick, and easy to follow. Thank you!

[tapangujjar]

Thank you Sir for making it clear and simple.

[lgmaster]

Wow, thanks a lot!!! Greetings from Germany

I am just shocked by how easy the integrals with the dirac delta is, man I spent so much time trying to figure out how to solve these integrals and I thought it was the hardest thing ever (because they look scary) but with your examples I'm just surprised by the time I wasted, however, my bad, because I just didn't understand the definition, the definition of the dirac delta tells you exactly what to do :P

[DramerPT]

Why does the function behave as a constant when it is multiplied by the delta dirac function? Because it will only have a value in one single point of x?

Great video! Thanks!

[itsthematt]

The definition of the Dirac Delta function states that its value is zero everywhere except for where the Dirac Delta function is centered (at zero when written as Delta(x)). So if I take any arbitrary function and multiply it by the Dirac Delta function, only the value of the arbitrary function evaluated where the Dirac Delta function is centered will survive; zero times any function is zero. However, you cannot say what Delta(x) times our sample function is without first integrating.

[MerveNoyan]

thank you so much, but in my differential equations final they've asked something like a huge function multiplied by dirac delta, with no (x) or anything so how can we do it?

[Excalibur]

Great, thank you so much for sharing this!

[finianholland]

Is there anyone on the internet that can explain how to evaluate a delta function as an indefinite integral? I need it for my differential equations class but I can’t find any videos.

[youspinmerightrounds]

The delta function is normalised to one, so that integral should return the value of 1

[PeteBeast]

Great explanation! But what happens when the integral's argument isn't being multiplied by a function f(x)?

Like, integral of (dirac(t-to))dt ?

[DevinPeterson]

It's seriously that easy? I must have been severely distracted during class or my prof was not explaining it like this. Anyway, thanks! Got all my HW done now
