Intro to differential forms (part 1)

A 13-minute video by David Metzler about algebra and geometry and calculus, on the Mathematics shelf. It came up in r/3Blue1Brown, in a thread called “More 3Blue1Brown video suggestions”.

First part of a series introducing differential forms at the level of an intro multivariable calculus course. In this part I just talk about some reasons to expect that there might be something better to use than vector fields in certain situations.
