Summary: great discussion on delta function
Comment: it's such a small book yet has the best discussion on delta function and spectral presentation i've seen.

it's strange that one reviewer mentions it's not for mathematician but it's a good engineering book for applications. My impression is just the opposite even it does not contain a lot of rigorous proofs.

I think for an average engineer who just wants to applications, this book is a poor choice, cause real-life data are almost always discrete and finite yet this book always use continuous functions as examples. but that is not what it is for. There are other engineering books better for these purposes.

This book is for anyone (physicist, applied mathematician or engineer) who has a passing knowledge of eigenfunction & linear operators, and who wants to know more in-depth underlying math.

Summary: The emphasis is techniques
Comment: This book was espacially for engineers not for mathematicist. The author tell us that the emphasis is not on the abstract theory but on the techniques which can be derived from theory to solve specific problems. If you are interested in the theory of linear space and so on. I advise you not read this book. But if you need some knowledge and methods to improve engineering application. It's a good choice.
