Title: Calculus of formal distributions

Abstract: Formal distributions generalize the notions of power series and Laurent series and have their own specifics of calculations.They are the formal base for the operations with  quantum fields. We will discuss definitions,  basic properties,  Decomposition theorem, locality of distributions, Operator Product expansion theorem. We may talk about lambda-bracket formalism  if time permits.
