Many kudos for this! Honestly, I don't actually know whether it means that much, but at this point I think that it could be useful for us to follow Mathematica in defining two different functions: Heaviside which is undefined in 0 and that is defined as the function whose derivative is the Dirac

One way would be to have a vertical ray that doesn't change the scaling of the rest of the graph (just goes to the top of the viewing window). Not precisely accurate, but better than nothing. David On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 6:57 PM, Tim Lahey tim.la...@gmail.com wrote: On Jun 23, 2009, at 5:46
