What is a good book on Fourier Analysis for understanding Dirac Delta functions?

In summary, Fourier analysis is a mathematical technique used to break down complex functions into simpler components. It is important in understanding and analyzing complicated phenomena in physics, engineering, and other fields. A book on Fourier analysis typically covers topics such as Fourier series, transforms, integrals, and their applications in solving differential equations, signal processing, and image processing. Recommended books for beginners include "Introduction to Fourier Analysis" by T.W. Körner, "A First Course in Fourier Analysis" by David W. Kammler, and "Fourier Analysis: An Introduction" by Elias M. Stein and Rami Shakarchi. There are also many online resources available for learning Fourier analysis, such as video lectures, online courses, and interactive tutorials

Hey all,

Looking for a good recommendation on a supplemental book on Fourier Analysis (in particular Dirac Delta functions). I'm taking an electrodynamics class and want more than the two pages the book is devoting to it (Dirac's Func.).

Thanks.


...Links would also be appreciated.

Bracewell's book on Fourier transforms is excellent.
