Differential Forms: A Complement to Vector Calculus

Differential forms are a powerful computational tool used in advanced mathematics. Until this text, multivariable calculus was taught mostly using the outdated notions of vector fields and related matters. Theuse of differential forms unifies the subject and makes it more understandable, so students learning the subject from this book should emerge with a better conceptual understanding of it. * Treats vector calculus using differential forms * Presents a very concrete introduction to differential forms * Develops Stokess theorem in an easily understandable way * Gives well-supported, carefully stated, and thoroughly explained definitions and theorems. * Provides glimpses of further topics to entice the interested student
