The delta function is sometimes called "Dirac's delta function" or the "impulse symbol" (Bracewell 1999). It is implemented in Mathematica as DiracDelta[x]. ...

Examples of this kind of forcing function would be a hammer striking an object or a short in an electrical system. In both of these cases a large force (or voltage) would be exerted on the system over a very short time frame. The Dirac Delta function is used to deal with these kinds of forcing function. ...

Dirac invented the delta function to deal with the completeness relation for position and momentum eigenstates. The eigenstate for the position operator; x x|x0i = x0|x0i (12) must be normalized in a way that the analogue of the completeness relation holds for discrete eigenstates 1 = Pa |aiha|.

The Dirac delta ``function'' $\delta(x)$ , or distribution is not a true function because it is not uniquely defined for all values of the argument $x$ . Similar to the Kronecker delta symbol, the notation $\delta(x)$ stands for...

The Dirac delta function is notorious in mathematical circles for having no actual realization as a function. However, a little known secret is that in the domain of nonstandard analysis, the Dirac delta function admits a completely legitimate construction as an actual function.
