Abstract
This paper discusses how modern Differential Geometry can be applied in engineering electrodynamics. At first, it shows some drawbacks of Gibbsian Vector Calculus, then introduces the more classical index based form of Rie-mannian Geometry. Finally, it is shown how modern Differential Geometry, especially the calculus Differential Forms, help generalize and simplify Vector Analysis and thus elctromagnetic field theory.
