Degree of continuous mapping via integral

Let $f \in C(S^{n},S^{n})$. If $n=1$ then the degree of $f$ coincides with index of curve $f(S^1)$ with respect to zero (winding number) and may be computed via integral $$ \deg f = \frac{1}{2\pi ...

Can the disk bundle associated to a vector bundle over a finite CW-complex be obtained by attaching cells?

Let $V$ be a vector bundle (with a chosen metric) over a finite CW-complex $X$ and $B(V), S(V)$ the associated (unit) disk resp. sphere bundles. In the paper Clifford-Modules the authors remark that ...
