This course introduces the notion of differential forms. The aim of the course is to prove Stokes theorem for manifolds with boundary and to provide applications in differential geometry as well as in other areas of mathematics. The course requires tools from linear algebra, calculus of several variables, topology and elementary differential geometry. On completion of the course the student should be familiar with differential forms and the meaning of Stokes theorem. |
