Hello,
I have just integrated over one variable, x and have now got a delta function
[tex]\delta(m)[/tex]

where m = constant * (s-s')

now I have to integrate over either s or s' but I am a bit confused
since if I integrate over say s then the delta function depends on s.

Hope I have explained clearly enough, thanks for reading.

[tex]\int ds \delta(s-s') f(s) = f(s').[/tex]


Notice too that there is no constant there, so you have to get rid of it first.

Thank you very much.
