Who knows a goodbook of physics with a good approach on the star operator? I want to practice with it.
Thank you in advance.

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on finding a recommended textbook for understanding the Hodge dual operator in physics. Burke's "Applied Differential Geometry" is highlighted as a resource that provides a geometric definition and application of the star operator. Additionally, the use of the Hodge dual in electromagnetism is noted, particularly in the context of MTW's "Gravitation," which demonstrates its role in deriving Maxwell's equations. Various online PDFs are also mentioned as supplementary resources for further exploration.
