Homework Statement


I need to understand how to integrate
[tex]\int_{0}^{t}\int_{0}^{s} \delta(\tau-\tau')d\tau d\tau'[/tex]
The solution is [tex]min(t,s)[/tex]

Homework Equations


See above

The Attempt at a Solution


[tex]min(t,s)[/tex]

hey Bablo

have you tried considering each of the cases separately (s>t,s<t)? then you can change the order of integration and integrate directly...
