 coordSymbols()$M returns a list of the coordinates as symbols. This
 is useful, for example, if the differential operators "D" are to be
 used.

 coordVector()$M returns a list of the coordinates in the space
 M=DFORM(Ring,Coordinates).

 zeroForms()$M returns a vector of the basis zero forms, i.e. the
 coordinates.

 differentials of the coordinate functions.

 zero()$M gives the zero form, i.e. 0@DeRhamComplex.

 one()$M gives 1@DeRhamComplex, i.e. "1" as a differential form. This
 is useful to intern elements of the function ring (just multiply them
 by  one()$DFORM).

 d(form)$M computes the exterior derivative and is just an
 abbreviation for the fucntion "exteriorDifferential"
 defined in the domain "DeRhamComplex".

 of integers representing the the m-element subsets of {1..n}.

 metric and is given by d codifferential(g,x)+ codifferential(g, d x).
 Note that in the Euclidean case hodgeLaplacian = - Laplacian.
