Title: An Introduction to Differential Forms
Abstract: The theory of differential forms is a beautiful subject that has particular importance in geometry, topology and physics. Our focus will be on how differential forms provide a better approach to multi-variable calculus. Specifically, we will see that many ostensibly unrelated results are unified using differential forms. Time permitted, we will introduce de Rham cohomology, a cohomology theory based on differential forms.
