Differential Forms

Theory and Practice

Beschreibung

Differential forms are a powerful mathematical technique to help students, researchers, and engineers solve problems in geometry and analysis, and their applications. They both unify and simplify results in concrete settings, and allow them to be clearly and effectively generalized to more abstract settings. Differential Forms has gained high recognition in the mathematical and scientific community as a powerful computational tool in solving research problems and simplifying very abstract problems. Differential Forms, Second Edition, is a solid resource for students and professionals needing a general understanding of the mathematical theory and to be able to apply that theory into practice.

Rezensionen

".a very nice book.covers things at a more leisurely pace, with many examples...would go a long way toward making the subject more popular and accessible." --SIAM Review

"This is a rigorous and well-written treatment of differential forms with a careful and detailed progression from very basic notions." --MAA.org, 24-Sep-14
