d(form)

Parameters

form

-

expression involving differential forms relative to specific coordinates

Description

• 

This routine is part of the liesymm package and is loaded via with(liesymm) .

• 

It computes the exterior derivative of the differential form form with respect to the coordinates defined by setup() .

• 

For coordinate x, d⁡x is a 1-form, and d⁡d⁡x=0.

• 

Expressions not involving the coordinates are treated as constants. The coordinate list is given by wedgeset(0).
