Introduction to di erential forms
Introduction to differential formsDonu ArapuraMay 6, 2016 The calculus of differential forms give an alternative to vector calculus whichis ultimately simpler and more flexible. Unfortunately it is rarely encounteredat the undergraduate level. However, the last few times I taught undergraduateadvanced calculus I decided I would do it this way. So I wrote up this briefsupplement which explains how to work with them, and what they are good for,but the approach is kept informal. In particular, multlinear algebra is kept toa minimum, and I don t define manifolds or anything like that.
C y x2 + y2 dx+ x x2 + y2 dy= Z 2ˇ 0 d = 2ˇ From the chain rule, we get LEMMA 1.4.3 Z C Fdx+ Gdy= Z C Fdx+ Gdy If Cand C0are equivalent, then Z C Fdx+ Gdy= Z C0 Fdx+ Gdy While we’re at it, we can also de ne a line integral in R3. Suppose that Fdx+ Gdy+ Hdzis a di erential form with C1 coe ents. Let C: [a;b] !R3 be a piecewise C1 parametric ...
