(Original author Keenan Crane) Previously we saw that a \(k\)-form measures the (signed) projected volume of a \(k\)-dimensional parallelpiped. For instance, a 2-form measures the area of a parallelogram projected onto some plane, as depicted above. But here’s a nice observation: a plane in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) can be described either by a pair of basis directions \((\alpha,\beta)\), or by a … Continue reading A Quick and Dirty Introduction to Exterior Calculus — Part III: Hodge Duality
