For the use of exterior form in daily physics, an introduction without coordinate frame
Abstract
This is a short introduction of the exterior form formalism focus on its applications in physics and then mostly aimed to physics students. As a rule of a game played here we never use a coordinate frame neither in the definitions nor in the proofs but only at the end in order to recover the classical physics equations. This approach is unusual but we think is helpful for the understanding and very valuable to grab the physical meanings of the mathematical object.
