I guess a short answer would be that it is a different way to write vector
equations that result in more compact and clearer notation than using
standard vector analysis. It looks like it could work quite nicely in my
domain (computational electromagnetics) tough I haven't used it much in
practice yet. See for instance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_form (although that isn't
exactly a beginner-friendly article)
