Differential forms are to be integrated. We will do that soon (Chapter 4) after some preliminaries on the natural “habitat” of differential forms (Chapter 3). However, the special case of integration of forms of degree one along curves (the so called line integrals) is so simple that it can be treated independently of the general theory. We will do that in this chapter.
