   Format: MarkdownItexCreated this page partly based on material found within [[differential+form]], and partly on related other pages and the linked Usenet thread. The main reason I wanted a separate page is to have a good home for some of the examples and other material in that thread that hadn't already made it onto the nLab. It'd be good to add discussion of pseudoforms' behavior under wedge product and differentiation, and more details on the examples: in particular explaining the notion of absolute value, and why the volume is a pseudoform and not an untwisted form. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/pseudoform/1">v1</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/pseudoform">current</a>
