In addition, classical differential geometry lacks the techniques that are widely applied in theoretical physics, such as differential forms. Early differential geometers studied such properties of curves and surfaces such as: .. There is a debate going on the last days in relation to the idea of patenting geometric forms or the means used to produce them. The study of Lie groups forms an important branch of group theory and is of relevance to other branches of mathematics. Let us try to write the four Maxwell equations using the language of differential forms, exterior differentiation and the Hodge star duality operation. It is only later on, when calculus became more algebraic in outlook that one can begin to make a meaningful separation between the subjects of calculus and differential geometry. Differential geometry is obsolete. This is my attempt to explain the concept of a differential form in differential geometry and several variable calculus; which I view as an extension of the concept of the signed integral in single variable calculus. So geometry killed the electric and magnetic fields. It's also important to remember that differential forms don't have to be real-valued. Of patents, trolls and differential geometries.
