Abstract
We study the de Rham cohomology of a class of spaces with singularities which are called stratifolds. Such spaces occur in mathematical and theoretical physics. We generalize two classical results from the analysis of smooth manifolds, with outstanding applications in physics, to the class of stratifolds. The first one is Stokes theorem, the second one is the de Rham theorem which states that the de Rham cohomology of a stratifold is isomorphic to its singular cohomology with coefficients in ℝ. In fact, we give an explicit geometric construction of this isomorphism, given by integrating forms over stratifold
