Elementary Differential Topology
The wedge product is an operation in exterior algebra that takes two differential forms and produces a new differential form, capturing the idea of 'antisymmetrization' of the forms. It is denoted by the symbol `∧` and has properties that make it essential for integrating over manifolds and defining orientations in differential geometry. This operation is fundamental in the study of differential forms and plays a critical role in establishing connections with cohomology theories.
