Product Calculus and Stokes Theorem

History and Overview 2024-03-15 v1

Abstract

In this paper the analogy between differential forms arising from integrals in additive calculus and forms arising from the integrals in product calculus is investigated. It is found that with an appropriate definition of scalar multiplication and vector addition a set of vector spaces can be constructed analogous to what is found in exterior calculus. A product differential is defined which allows for the product derivative version of closed and exact forms. The product differential also allows for a product integral version of Stokes theorem (for scalar functions).
