He pioneered the theory of distributions, which gives a well-defined meaning to objects such as the Dirac delta function. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1950 for his work on the theory of distributions. For several years he taught at the Ecole polytechnique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50492633055506,"sku":"9781487591328","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_65cfffd8-2b0f-4fd3-a8bb-8b3cab2b2821.jpg?v=1730600571","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/introduction-to-the-theory-of-distributions-9781487591328","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
