Exterior derivative
On a
differentiable manifold
, the
exterior derivative
extends the concept of the
differential
of a function to
differential forms
of higher degree. The exterior derivative was first described in its current form by
Élie Cartan
in 1899; it allows for a natural, metric-independent generalization of
Stokes' theorem
,
Gauss's theorem
, and
Green's theorem
from vector calculus.
