Hi, I am a new EE Student and I'm just begining with Fourier transforms. I was using Mathematica at school when I saw something I just couldn't figure out. FourierTransform[UnitStep[t],t,w] gives me I/w + pi DiracDelta[w] I learned that it should give me pi DiracDelta[w]-I/w or 1/Iw + pi DiracDelta[w]. Am I missing something or is there a bug in the FourierTransform package? They are using Mathematica 3.0 Normand Leclerc lecn1306 at ele.etsmtl.ca
