The purpose of this note is to give an elementary geometric proof of the following result stated by Sullivan (see (4)).

Theorem 1 (Sullivan). Let K be a finite simplicial complex with vertices v1, …, vN and corresponding barycentric coordinates b1, …, bN. Then the algebra of rational PL forms on K
