Abstract

Alternative to tensors, differential forms are very useful in differential geometry without considering the coordinates compared to tensors. Differential forms are based on exterior algebra in which the coordinates are not taken into account. The exterior algebra was developed by Élie Cartan (1869–1951) and Henri Poincaré (1854–1912).
