  • Abstract
    The calculus of differential forms clarifies the relationship between field intensity and flux density and provides intuitive pictures of Ampere´s and Faraday´s laws, the curl operation, the Poynting vector, and boundary conditions. These and other advantages over vector analysis make differential forms an optimal tool for teaching electromagnetics
