Differential form
Summary
A differential form is an object that one can integrate over curves, surfaces, volumes and their higher-dimensional analogues. A -form assigns to each point an alternating -linear function of tangent vectors. Forms give a coordinate-free approach to multivariable calculus.
What this node needs for W2
