Differential Forms

By: Guillemin, VictorContributor(s): Haine, PeterMaterial type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Singapore World Scientific Publishing 2024Description: xvi, 256pISBN: 9798886130829 (PB)Subject(s): Geometry | cohomology | Differential | Mathematics
Contents:
1. Multilinear Algebra 2. The Concept of a Differential Form 3. Integration of Forms 4. Manifolds and Forms on Manifolds 5. Cohomology via Forms
Summary: There already exist a number of excellent graduate textbooks on the theory of differential forms as well as a handful of very good undergraduate textbooks on multivariable calculus in which this subject is briefly touched upon but not elaborated on enough. The goal of this textbook is to be readable and usable for undergraduates. It is entirely devoted to the subject of differential forms and explores a lot of its important ramifications. In particular, our book provides a detailed and lucid account of a fundamental result in the theory of differential forms which is, as a rule, not touched upon in undergraduate texts: the isomorphism between the Čech cohomology groups of a differential manifold and its de Rham cohomology groups
