%X A plea for the introduction, in advanced electromagnetics courses, of some basic differential geometric notions:  covectors,  differential forms, Hodge operators.  The main advantages of this evolution should be felt in computational electromagnetism.  It may also shed some new light on the concept of material isotropy.
