What do distributions in analysis, things like Dirac deltas, have to do with distributions in probability? ow.ly/WaXkN

Distributions | Generalized functions

Generalized functions, or distributions, are a way of making things like the Dirac delta "function" rigorous, and are analogous to probability distributions.
