Is there any way to rewrite a partial differential equation using language of differential forms, tensors, etc?
My question is: usually, a partial differential equation, for example, those coming from physics, is written in a language of vector calculus in a local coordinate. Is there any way (or any algorithm) ...

About Frobenius's theorem for differential forms
My question is about a particular case of Frobenius's theorem that states the complete integrability condition for a Pfaff system. Namely,
when dealing with a system reduced to a single 1-form, the ...
