| Jun 11, 2020 at 13:10 | comment | added | Malkoun | well, I think joining the dots is essentially proving, at least some local version of Stoke's theorem. I understand that there is a gap between the definition, via essentially a formula, of the exterior differential, and the intuition, which is essentially the local version of Stoke's theorem. Historically, it came from generalizing several lower dimensional special cases, and is thus non-trivial. Many books discuss it. I would guess you could find it in some volume of Spivak, one of Lee's books, possibly in Boothby's book and many other places. | |
