Integration On An Exterior Algebra
Let be the exterior algebra of polynomials in anticommuting elements over the field of complex numbers. (The ordering of the generators is fixed and defines the orientation of the exterior algebra.) The Berezin integral on is the linear functional with the following properties:
for any where means the left or the right partial derivative. These properties define the integral uniquely. The formula
expresses the Fubini law. On the right-hand side, the interior integral of a monomial is set to be where ; the integral of vanishes. The integral with respect to is calculated in the similar way and so on.

Famous quotes containing the words integration, exterior and/or algebra:
“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
“Professor Eucalyptus said, “The search
For reality is as momentous as
The search for god.” It is the philosopher’s search
For an interior made exterior
And the poet’s search for the same exterior made
Interior: breathless things broodingly abreath....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
