The following two *rigorous* treatments on the subject of "generalized
functions" and Schwartz's "theory of distributions" may be useful. Both
treatments define a "distribution" as

     "a continuous linear functional on the space of
     infinitely differentiable functions with compact
     support".

I don't know how much rigorous mathematics background you have had, but
mastering the terminologies so that every single word in that last phrase is
understood in a rigorous mathematical sense is one of the goals of an
introductory functional analysis class.
