A pair of closed parametric equations are proposed to represent the Heaviside unit step function. Differentiating the step equations results in two additional parametric equations, that are also hereby proposed, to represent the Dirac delta function. These equations are expressed in algebraic terms and are handled by means of elementary algebra and elementary calculus. The proposed delta representation complies exactly with the values of the definition. It complies also with the sifting property and the requisite unit area and its Laplace transform coincides with the most general form given in the tables. Furthermore, it leads to a very simple method of solution of impulsive vibrating systems either linear or belonging to a large class of nonlinear problems. Two example solutions are presented.
