This EMS volume shows the great power provided by modern harmonic analysis, not only in mathematics, but also in mathematical physics and engineering. Aimed at a reader who has learned the principles of harmonic analysis, this book is intended to provide a variety of perspectives on this important classical subject. The authors have written an outstanding book which distinguishes itself by the authors' excellent expository style.
It can be useful for the expert in one area of harmonic analysis who wishes to obtain broader knowledge of other aspects of the subject and also by graduate students in other areas of mathematics who wish a general but rigorous introduction to the subject.

<span>The first systematic theory of generalized functions (also known as distributions) was created in the early 1950s, although some aspects were developed much earlier, most notably in the definition of the Green's function in mathematics and in the work of Paul Dirac on quantum electrodynamics i
