Differential Forms: Who's good at this?

[MetaFrizzics]

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

Tom Mattson had a thread about it a while ago on PF: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=67268

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.

Those drama queens at PF, eh ?

not enough scientific disinterest.

you look for scienctific DISinterest in a science forum?
