Differential forms looks really cool and I really want to learn more about them at some point!

That said, isn't calculus, mainly the chain rule, enough to tell you what operations are allowed?

I definitely didn't understand how to use differentials just by learning calculus, but maybe it is possible.

For single variable calculus (y=f(x)), yes.
