What is a presentation for the Rham cohomology of a smooth manifold

41 Views Asked by At

In reading about algebraic topology, I have encountered a question where I am asked to find "a presentation for the de Rham cohomology" of a given smooth manifold.

However, I am unsure what a presentation for the de Rham cohomology is. I have seen group presentations before, but the de Rham cohomology is not just a group.

If anyone could clarify the question I would highly appreciate it!
