Hi Glen,
I believe it's also called a "wedge product". Mike Spivak's tiny but
frustrating but elegant book Calculus on Manifolds, if I remember
correctly, defines these things and explains what they mean in
geometric terms.

So, Verlinde lost me in section 4. But I usually try to continue
reading even if I don't understand (just like I continue talking
about stuff I don't understand ;-). And equation 5.35 (attached)
had a surprise for me. What is that ^ symbol between dx^a and dx^b?
