Differential forms : theory and practice

Differential forms are utilized as a mathematical technique to help students, researchers, and engineers analyze and interpret problems where abstract spaces and structures are concerned, and when questions of shape, size, and relative positions are involved. __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 through mathematical analysis on a computer. __Differential Forms, 2nd Edition,__ is a solid resource for students and professionals needing a solid general understanding of the mathematical theory and be able to apply that theory into practice. Useful applications are offered to investigate a wide range of problems such as engineers doing risk analysis, measuring computer output flow or testing complex systems. They can also be used to determine the physics in mechanical and/or structural design to ensure stability and structural integrity. The book offers many recent examples of computations and research applications across the fields of applied mathematics, engineering, and physics. * The only reference that provides a solid theoretical basis of how to develop and apply differential forms to real research problems * Includes computational methods for graphical results essential for math modeling * Presents common industry techniques in detail for a deeper understanding of mathematical applications * Introduces theoretical concepts in an accessible manner
