Brief notes dated 3.12.11, apparently Phil's own commentary on a passage in Stakgold's book on distributions. He remarks on an abrupt change of subject, the classical function (1/x)+ defined by an equation, and Stakgold's rewriting of an earlier equation using g as the name of the distribution. He finds the next step confusing. The extracted text is short and lacks the equations.

Extracted text (machine-read; may contain errors)
The pf Functions PhL 3.12.11 Now we suddenly seem to have a sudden change of subject. Equation E defines a certain classical function (1/x)+, somewhat like (logx)+ above. Fine. Then Stak seems to rewrite Equation D as Equation F. Instead of using f', he uses g as the name of the distribution. The next step is exceedingly confusing.
