Grassmann's mathematical methods were slow to be adopted but eventually they inspired the work of Elie Cartan and have since been used in studying differential forms and their application to analysis and geometry.
Grassmann's matematika paraan ay mabagal na pinagtibay ngunit sa huli nilang inspirasyon ang gawain ng Elie Cartan at may dahil nagamit na sa pag-aaral kaugalian forms at ng kanilang mga aplikasyon para sa pagtatasa at geometry.
