Classifying space for O(n)

In mathematics, the classifying space for the orthogonal group O(n) may be constructed as the Grassmannian of n-planes in an infinite-dimensional real space

of two elements is generated by the Stiefel–Whitney classes:[1][2] The canonical inclusions

on their respective classifying spaces.

Their respective colimits are denoted as:
