MetaFrizzics Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I am going over Differential Forms, because people are reformulating Electromagnetic Theory using this approach. When I did it, it was all from the point of view of Vector Calculus, but some things are quite clumsy, long and inelegant in vectors, not to mention un-intuitive. I was hoping Differential Forms would be a nice approach that may simplify alot of almost intractable problems: For instance Green functions applied to QM... Anybody knowledgeable, or interested, or even both? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaFrizzics Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks for the threads: I haven't been to PhysicsForums for a while. I didn't like the high-handed moderation...too emotional: not enough scientific disinterest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ydoaPs Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 not enough scientific disinterest. you look for scienctific DISinterest in a science forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
