An Exterior Algebraic Derivation of the Euler–Lagrange Equations from the Principle of Stationary Action
In this paper, we review two related aspects of field theory: the modeling of the fields by means of exterior algebra and calculus, and the derivation of the field dynamics, i.e., the Euler–Lagrange equations, by means of the stationary action principle. In contrast to the usual tensorial derivation...
