Differential forms: three or more dimensions


All these results and proofs immediately generalise to functions of three, or indeed functions of n variables (assuming that the functions are differentiable). That is, in three-dimensions, if [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] then [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] which is computed by [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] All of these are equivalent expressions for the same process. Example (2) [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] Find [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] Solution [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.]
