Geometry of Differential Forms Shigeyuki Morita
Publisher: American Mathematical Society

This is a self-contained introductory textbook on the calculus of differential forms and modern differential geometry. We'd like to use this form as our top form, but it's heavily dependent on our choice of coordinates, so it's very much not a geometric object — our ideal choice of a volume form will be independent of particular coordinates. We are going to call this a "differential 1-form", but we would do well to notice the things that our text is not telling us - first that this construction implies we are working over a 3-manifold (Euclidean flat, sure enough), and moreover that is a vector in the co-tangent space to this manifold. DG - Clifford Algebra / Differential Forms in Differential Geometry is being discussed at Physics Forums. Differential Forms and Applications (Universitext) by Manfredo P. The naive view of a tangent will have it "sticking out" into some surrounding (one says embedding) space, and this we cannot allow - we want to do intrinsic geometry. Of patents, trolls and differential geometries. Integrals of differential forms play a fundamental role in modern differential geometry. The set of all differential k-forms on a manifold M is a vector space,. Differential forms and orthonormal frames don't appear until nearly the end of the book. Do Carmo Differential Forms and Applications "This book treats differential forms and uses them to study some local and global aspects of differential geometry. I'm currently working through a differential geometry book that uses Clifford's algebra instead of differential forms. One of the main issues in noncommutative differential geometry is how to define differential forms and vector fields. This definitely is a text for physicists, not mathematicians, with the geometry taking a back-seat. The book treats differential forms and uses them to study some local and global aspects of the differential geometry of surfaces. My Differential Geometry and Manifolds books. The subtleties are introcuded in matrix geometry ready for more general algebras. Principal theorems and applications of differential. There is a debate going on the last days in relation to the idea of patenting geometric forms or the means used to produce them.
